A vacation home in the southern Black Forest offers many advantages
A vacation home for rent in the southern Black Forest combines a nature-filled getaway with the comfort of your own accommodations. Our log cabins on the Feldberg are the perfect starting point for hikes and excursions through the Upper Black Forest. Discover the mountain landscape or spend a day at Lake Titisee or Lake Schluchsee. The region is also a great destination for a winter vacation: When snow conditions permit, you can ski on the Feldberg or explore the surrounding area on winter hiking trails.
In your own Chalet, you’ll enjoy privacy and can tailor your stay to your preferences. Having your own kitchen allows you to cook together and cater to personal preferences when it comes to meals. This is especially convenient for families with children or guests with special dietary needs. If you’re traveling with friends or multiple generations, you’ll have plenty of space to gather together while still being able to retreat to your own space when needed. This way, even when vacationing together in the southern Black Forest, there’s still plenty of room for individual relaxation.
Where is the Southern Black Forest?
The Southern Black Forest is located in the far southwest of Germany. It encompasses the particularly high-altitude southern part of the Black Forest. Roughly speaking, it stretches from the Dreisam Valley and Höllen Valley near Freiburg southward to the Upper Rhine along the Swiss border. To the west, the mountains slope down toward the Upper Rhine Plain. To the east, the landscape transitions into the Baar and Wutach regions.
Among the well-known landscapes and vacation destinations in the southern Black Forest are, among others:
- Highest peaks: Feldberg, Herzogenhorn, Belchen, and Schauinsland
- Lakes: Titisee and Schluchsee
- Todtnau and the Upper Wiesental Valley
- High Valleys and the Eastern Mountain Region: Bernau and St. Blasien
- Western Mountain Valleys: Münster Valley and Little Wiesental
- Southern Plateaus: Hotzenwald above the Upper Rhine
Good to know: The Southern Black Forest Nature Park has its own boundaries. Its territory extends further north to Triberg and Herbolzheim. It therefore also includes parts of the Central Black Forest.
Feldberg: Your Vacation Destination in the Southern Black Forest
Our home, Feldberg, is located in the southern Black Forest. The resort is part of the Upper Black Forest vacation region. These terms describe different aspects of the same area: its location in the southern part of the low mountain range and the landscape of its higher elevations. At 1,493 meters, the Feldberg is the highest mountain in the Black Forest. Surrounding the mountain massif, an extensive hiking area meets the Black Forest’s largest ski region.
Our accommodations are located on Köpfleweg in Feldberg at an elevation of about 1,300 meters, right in the heart of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park. Your vacation home is thus nestled in the heart of the mountain landscape and, on clear days, offers a view all the way to the Alps.
From your log cabin, you can explore the surrounding area on hikes. The Wichtelpfad and the Fundorena are also within walking distance. In winter, you’ll benefit from the proximity to the winter sports area: the ski slope is only about 500 meters away. When snow conditions are good, you can reach the slope in about five minutes on skis.
If you’d like to do your own shopping, you’ll find stores in the lower-lying neighborhood of Bärental. You can combine larger shopping trips with a drive down to the valley.

What are some things to do in the Southern Black Forest?
From your vacation home in the southern Black Forest, you can set out on hikes or take a trip to the region’s lakes. Around the Feldberg, you’ll find plenty of activities perfect for a family vacation or an active getaway.
Hiking on the Feldberg
In the Feldberg region, you’ll find scenic high-altitude trails and hikes through the forest. For experienced hikers, the Feldbergsteig is a great option. This roughly 12.4-kilometer loop trail is challenging and also passes by Feldsee. In the southern Black Forest, you can also enjoy wonderful hikes with your dog.
Swimming or Boating
On warm summer days, the lakes are the perfect place for an outing. Spend a day swimming at the lake or explore the countryside on a boat ride. You can take a sightseeing cruise or rent a pedal boat.
Bicycle Tours and Mountain Biking
The Southern Black Forest offers bike tours of varying difficulty levels. Mountain bikers will also find challenging trails with steep climbs in the Upper Black Forest.
With children
The Gnome Trail in the Auerhahnwald turns a short hike into a shared adventure. Afterward, you can learn more about the wildlife and habitat of the Feldberg at the Haus der Natur.
Todtnau Waterfall and Black Forest Line
A trip to Todtnau combines a nature experience with extraordinary views. The 450-meter-long “Blackforestline” suspension bridge spans the waterfall. If you have a head for heights, you can look down from there at the waterfall and into the Wiesental valley.
The Southern Black Forest in the Rain
Even when it rains, the southern Black Forest has plenty to offer. At Fundorena on the Feldberg, you can let off some steam at the trampoline park or the indoor high ropes course. If you’d like to do something in the water, the Badeparadies Schwarzwald is the place to go.
Visit Freiburg or St. Blasien
In Freiburg im Breisgau, you can combine a stroll through the Old Town with a visit to the cathedral. Another cultural destination is St. Blasien, with its impressive domed cathedral.
The Southern Black Forest in Winter
If there is enough snow, you can go skiing or snowboarding in the Feldberg area. Winter hiking and cross-country skiing are also among the activities available in the region. After an active day, you can warm up in your Chalet’s sauna.
