Lenzkirch combines a section of the Schluchtensteig, protected moorland and a variety of cultural and leisure activities. When looking for a hotel in Lenzkirch, a good starting point is to consider your travel interests: would you like to include a gorge trail, the Urseemoor, a themed trail or traces of local culture in your plans?
Gorge trails and circular routes
The Lenzkirch section of the Schluchtensteig leads into the Haslach Gorge and past the Rechen and Hölloch rocks. Kucky's Vogelwelt Lenzkirch offers a different kind of outing: a 1.7-kilometre circular route with puzzles, plus a bird's-nest swing and a playground along the way. While the named gorges and rock formations shape the character of the Schluchtensteig, Kucky's route adds activities and play facilities to the trail.
The Hochschwarzwald Adventure Golf Park in Lenzkirch-Kappel has 21 themed holes. This adds another clearly defined leisure activity to the trail and circular-route options, with the themed holes at its heart.
Urseemoor: a viewpoint and protected area
The Urseemoor can be viewed from the Lenzkirch–Raitenbuch road. The nature reserve may not be entered; there are no paths into it. The Ursee nature reserve in the municipality of Lenzkirch protects Lake Ursee, the surrounding moors and wet meadows, as well as adjoining meadows interspersed with belts of trees and shrubs. These habitats are home to numerous endangered animal and plant species, as well as rare and threatened plant communities and ecological communities. Lake Ursee is a typical moor lake; its floating mats of vegetation are home to numerous moorland plants.
Cultural heritage in Lenzkirch
The Church of St. Magdalena in the Lenzkirch district of GrĂĽnwald features a late Gothic sandstone relief. The Lenzkirch Clock Factory, founded in 1851, is also part of the town's history and was the first of its kind in the Black Forest. The church relief and the founding of the clock factory offer two different perspectives on local cultural history.
In the wider Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald destination
Public transport is also relevant when planning a regional trip: many places in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district can be reached by train. The free KONUS guest card lets you use local and regional trains and buses throughout the Black Forest free of charge.
The wider Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald destination offers more leisure activities. At Badeparadies Schwarzwald in Titisee, summer temperatures prevail 365 days a year, with real palm trees and turquoise-blue water. The Galaxy waterslide universe at Badeparadies offers more than 25 attractions and water fun for all ages. Fundorena in Feldberg features a trampoline park on three levels; the Fundorena X Mind Arena comprises six stations. Fundorena also has its own snack bar, “Chicco’s Lounge”. The focus differs when choosing an outing: Lenzkirch’s gorges, moorland and cultural history contrast with the region’s water-based attractions and trampoline park.
