Family holidays in the Black Forest
A family holiday in the Black Forest should above all be one thing: uncomplicated. That is why you will find family rooms of up to 42 square metres, a free cot and a natural open-air pool 900 metres away. Europa-Park is an hour’s drive away. Add to that our location right in the middle of town. Museums, the playground and the bathing lake are within walking distance, and for the bigger trips you rarely need more than an hour in the car.
Family holidays in the Black Forest
Which destination suits which age?
On the doorstep: the Klosterweiher
On the doorstep: the Klosterweiher
In summer the Klosterweiher is a natural open-air pool, 900 metres from the town centre. A level path runs around the shore that even small children can manage.
In winter it becomes a walk through the snow. So you do not have to go far for your first snowball fight.
The big destinations in the region
The big destinations in the region
Europa-Park in Rust is 80 kilometres away and open all year, including at Halloween and in winter. Slides, palm trees and tropical temperatures await you at Badeparadies Schwarzwald, 43 kilometres away.
Also 43 kilometres away, the Sauschwänzlebahn sets off from Blumberg. The museum railway is over a hundred years old and runs through tunnels and over viaducts, and for many children that is the highlight of the week.
Waterfalls and the largest cuckoo clock
Waterfalls and the largest cuckoo clock
Triberg is 13 kilometres away and offers two destinations at once. The Triberg Waterfalls drop through 163 metres and are considered the highest in Germany. The path alongside them is well made.
Just a few minutes further stands the world’s largest cuckoo clock, as big as a small house. It is worth waiting for the hour to strike.
When it rains
When it rains
A rainy day is no lost day in this area. The Solemar thermal baths in Bad Dürrheim are 23 kilometres away and offer warm brine water, slides and quiet areas.
The waterfalls are even more impressive in the rain, because they carry considerably more water. With a raincoat the trip is all the more worthwhile.
Hands-on technology
Hands-on technology
At the German Phono Museum children can hear what music sounded like a hundred years ago, because many of the devices are still ready to play. The Technology and Event Museum, by contrast, shows motorised vehicles of every kind.
Both are in the town centre and within walking distance. That makes them ideal for a morning when the weather does not play along.
Winter for families
Winter for families
At this altitude there is reliable snow. Up to ten ski lifts run in the area, and the cross-country tracks are prepared as soon as conditions allow.
If you do not ski yet, go winter walking or tobogganing. The slopes around the town are gentle enough for a first attempt.
Your big advantage
With your check-in at the Hotel FederWERK, you’ll receive the Black Forest Guest Card (Kurkarte). It will accompany you throughout your stay and offers numerous discounts on attractions and recreational activities in the region.
Especially convenient: Your guest card featuring the KONUS symbol serves as your free pass for public transportation in the Black Forest. Upon payment of the standard visitor’s tax, you can use buses and trains in the participating KONUS area free of charge—for the duration of your entire stay and as often as you’d like.
For example, from the nearby Schwarzes Tor stop, you can reach Triberg, Villingen, or the St. Georgen train station, allowing you to plan your excursions through the Black Forest with ease using public transportation.
This way, you can simply leave your car behind—and explore St. Georgen and the Black Forest flexibly, hassle-free, and without additional travel costs using public transportation.
Discover more. Experience more. Simply enjoy your holiday.
The Hochschwarzwald Card
With the Hochschwarzwald Card you can explore the variety of the High Black Forest and enjoy a wide range of included leisure activities and experiences. The card gives you one free visit to each of around 100 attractions.
Whether a trip to a museum, an afternoon at the indoor climbing park or a round of mini golf – the Hochschwarzwald Card opens up plenty of options. Outdoor pools, indoor pools and ski lifts are part of the offer too.
Experience nature, discover culture or simply spend a relaxed day: the Hochschwarzwald Card makes it easy to get to know the region a little better every day. You also benefit from reduced card prices, among them a 4-hour ticket at Badeparadies Schwarzwald and ski passes in the Feldberg ski area.
