In summer
A 200-km-long network of walking trails lies ready to be discovered by you! For example, through the primeval landscape of the Brecca valley. Or would you rather prefer a fast-paced bicycle tour on 180 km of specially-signed routes. Take a break wherever you please. Or do you want to miss out on the local specialities, served in distinctive Alpine huts?! Meanwhile, the children can embark on a journey of discovery and experience the life of an Alpine herdsman at first hand. A downhill scooter ride awaits for all the young Schuhmachers- in the making; alternatively, you can easily get that Huckleberry Finn- feeling by paddling across the lake in a canoe.
In winter
The skiing slope on the Kaiseregg is one of the widest pistes in the region. Carvers in particular and all those aspiring to become one will be well catered for here. Or why not buckle your family and yourself into some ice-skates and experience the frozen Schwarzsee from its most magnificent side. Are you seeking tranquillity, combined with an unforgettable experience of nature? Then don your snowshoes and explore altitudes resplendent with coverings of deep snow! Would you like to see children's eyes light up? The ice palaces - wonderful creations in ice - can be seen in all their glory from Christmas to March and will not only make children marvel in amazement.
Three good reasons for visiting the Schwarzsee:
- Hot in winter - cool in summer
- Perfect for families and active people
- Moderate prices
Public Transport: By rail to Freiburg, and then by public bus service to the Schwarzsee (bus timetable
