Hikes and walks
During your visit to the Black Forest you will also have the opportunity to visit various trails, vineyards and guided walks which will sometimes be accompanied by wine tasting with commentary by the winemaker himself.
A futuristic but very natural heritage
The natural and geological heritage of the Black Forest is presented in the new National Park Centre.
On a mountain located 900 meters above sea level, the National Park will welcome you with a particular architecture which, I have no doubt, will remind you of the forest and its intersecting woods, is in perfect symbiosis with nature.
A tourist office informs visitors about the various hikes in the National Park. A footbridge, permanently accessible free of charge, connects the main building to the forest and advances into the treetops. From this footbridge, you can climb the observation tower and contemplate the landscape above Baiersbronn and the Murg valley from above.
