Germany’s Black Forest is a wonderful, varied and popular region at any time of year. In winter, the forested mountains change colour from ‘black’ to white. A glittering blanket covers the idyllic landscape, offering numerous opportunities for a multitude of winter sports.

If you think that there are no more insider tips on the Black Forest, this Collection will prove you wrong. We introduce you to cross-country ski trails, winter hiking trails and a toboggan run that are all far from the honeypots. In the Black Forest National Park you will find white slopes, groomed cross-country trails and picturesque forest paths between trees heavily laden with snow.

‘Sportlich statt frostig’ (sporty rather than frosty) is the motto in this particularly beautiful region. Winter sports enthusiasts get their money's worth here on cross-country skis, snowshoes, sledges or, of course, hiking boots! The 27 municipalities of the national park region offer you a wealth of opportunity to discover your own adventures away from the popular hotspots. The Tours and Highlights presented in this Collection allow you to get active, calm your mind and enjoy the silence at the same time. Enjoy the winter with us in the Black Forest National Park!
