Why is the Black Forest ideal for family vacations?
A family vacation in the Black Forest is perfect for young and old: deep forests, glistening mountain lakes, lush meadows and snow-covered slopes in winter – this is where mom, dad and their little ones can recharge their batteries together.
The area around the Feldberg is the heart of the southern Black Forest. There are countless opportunities for family-friendly activities here, as well as the peace and space that stressed-out city dwellers so desperately need. A family break in this region will delight you with fresh mountain air, nature experiences right on your doorstep and a vacation feeling that will stay with you for weeks, even months.
And the infrastructure is also impressive: Hiking trails, nature trails, swimming lakes, mountain bike trails and ski resorts are perfectly tailored to the needs of travelers with children. Whether summer vacations or winter vacations – a family trip to the Black Forest has the right program for every season and every age.
What can families do on vacation in the Black Forest?
In summer: hiking, swimming and cycling
If you are traveling to the Black Forest with the whole family in summer, you can look forward to plenty of sporting activities. The Feldberg and its surroundings are a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. There are well-signposted hiking trails for every fitness level, including pram-friendly paths.
Titisee is one of the most famous lakes in the Black Forest. The lake is a perfect destination for the whole family. Swimming, pedal boating or simply relaxing on the shore – everyone will find what they are looking for here. The Schluchsee lake and the Windgfällweiher pond with its lido are also just a few minutes away from the vacation homes on the Feldberg. They will delight young water rats and swimming fans.
For all those who like a little more excitement on vacation, the Wichtelpfad on the Feldberg is a real experience. A discovery trail through the forest that will captivate holidaymakers of all ages. Those looking for even more action can visit the outdoor climbing park in the region – an adventure for all young adventurers of a certain age.
Mountain bikers and cycling fans also get their money’s worth. Kilometers of cycle tours through the Black Forest, past gorges and lakes, make every excursion a great experience.
In winter: Skiing, tobogganing and fun in the snow
If you are planning a recreational vacation with the family during the cold season, you should definitely consider the Feldberg. The Feldberg ski resort is the largest winter sports center in Baden-Württemberg. A total of 50 kilometers of perfectly groomed ski slopes for beginners and advanced skiers await you here.
There are also great cross-country ski trails of all levels of difficulty for children and teenagers. Sledging and tobogganing are also possible on designated routes. Snowshoeing, snowkiting and even rides with real snow groomers round off the winter offerings. The children will not forget these snow experiences in a hurry.
The best thing is that the Chalets on the Feldberg are right next to the slopes. The ski slope can be reached from the chalets in around 5 minutes on foot – or on skis right outside the front door.
Whatever the weather: indoor fun for the whole family
If the weather doesn’t play along, that’s no problem on a family vacation in the Black Forest. The Fundorena, the large indoor fun park on the Feldberg, offers a trampoline park, ice skating rink, high ropes course and much more. Here, the little ones can run around and laugh while their parents take a break.
If you want to get a taste of the city air, I can recommend the university town of Freiburg im Breisgau. If you pass the Black Forest ski jumps in Titisee-Neustadt and drive through the picturesque Höllental valley, you will quickly arrive in the lively Black Forest metropolis. A worthwhile day trip for a vacation with the whole family.
Even in bad weather, a visit to Europe’s most modern adventure pool in the region is worthwhile. With a pleasant 32 degrees and a South Sea flair, it is just 10 minutes from the vacation homes.
Log cabin Chalets on the Feldberg: ideal accommodation for family vacations
Of course, a family trip to the Black Forest is only as nice as the temporary home where you get together in the evenings. This is exactly where our three log cabin Chalets on the Feldberg are far ahead: they are the ideal accommodation for a family vacation!

The advantage over the family hotel
Anyone who has ever been on vacation in a hotel with children knows the little annoyances: Crowds at the breakfast buffet, fixed meal times and strange guests in the wellness area, for example. These problems don’t exist in the log cabin Chalets on the Feldberg. A time-out together here means: your own rhythm, your own kitchen, your own sauna – and without any extra charge or waiting times.
While the kids play outside in the snow or relax on the couch after a long excursion, parents can relax in the warm hot tub on the terrace and enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains. In the evening, when the children are asleep, a glass of wine from the hotel’s own wine cabinet – with wines from the renowned Martin Waßmer winery at original prices – and the tranquillity of the Black Forest invite you to enjoy.
Black Forest Card: savings benefits for the whole family
When planning a family trip to the region, you should definitely book the Black Forest Card. With this card, you can experience over 180 attractions in the Black Forest at reduced prices, including the Feldbergbahn, the Badeparadies Schwarzwald, the Fundorena with trampoline park, high ropes course, climbing park, boat hire, golf course and many more leisure parks.
