Mainau

The Island of Mainau, also known as the Island of Flowers is located in the middle of Lake Constance. The almost tropical island is 6 km (4 miles) north of the town of Constance. Due to its mild climate there are orange trees and palm trees which grow year-round. The gardens and parks of Island Mainau are known all over the world for their beauty and can be visited by the public year-round. You can either take a boat ride over to the island or walk over the foot bridge. Unfortunately you cannot spend a night at the island since overnight stays are not allowed. But closeby there are many hotels, for example in the towns of Constance or Meersburg. There is also a castle situated in the center of this island.

Titisee in the Black Forest

Titisee is the largest naturally formed lake in the Black Forest. It is also home of the town called Titisee. Titisee has a population of 2,000. Due to the fact that Tittisee is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Black Forest the population triples in size in summer. Sometimes there are more than 6,000 people through town. The map of Tittisee shows you where the lake is located.

Tittisee

If you look at pictures of Tittisee you will soon discover that it is a very small take indeed. It will only take you about 90 minutes to walk around the entire lake. Some of the best Black Forest cake in the area is being served at Lake Titisee. If you are traveling on one of our Black Forest Tours we will make sure to point out where to stop for a piece of cake! There is also plenty of opportunity to shop for cuckoo clocks at the lake. In summer you can take a boat ride across the lake and enjoy this big Black Forest attraction.

Things to do in Baden-Baden

Baden-Baden is located at the northern end of the Black Forest in Germany. Europe’s first luxury hotel was opened in Baden-Baden and since then the town has been a destination for celebrities and the wealthy. That is because Baden-Baden was once the hotspot in Europe in the 19th century. Anyone who wanted to be someone had to be in Baden-Baden.  In the 19th century Baden-Baden was the most elegant and sophisticated playground in Europe, the Saint Tropez of high society. Visitors can enjoy The Casino Baden-Baden or spend hours at one of the famous spas in Baden-Baden. The Baden-Baden baths are called Caracalla and Friedrichsbad.

Baden-Baden has a population of about 55,000 people. There are numerous hot springs in the Black Forest around which spa towns have grown, but non of them have become as famous as Baden-Baden.

Lake Constance

Lake constance

If you have a few days to spend in the Black Forest a visit to Lake Constance is highly recommended. Lake Constance is a lake only a short drive from the Black Forest. If you look at a map of Lake Constance  you will discover that the lake is bordered by the countries of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. A boat ride to all 3 countries is a must-do when visiting. More than half of the shoreline of Lake Constance is in Germany though so it makes sense to start your journey coming from the Black Forest. Lake Constance is 15 km long (9 miles) wide at its widest point, 74 km (46 miles) long, 252 m deep (826 feet) and 395 m (1,295 ft) high. The area around Lake Constance is known for its mild climate and hills around the lake are covered with vineyards. There are almost 200 professional fishermen active today. If you have a chance to enjoy lunch or dinner at Lake Constance enjoy some of the fish which is on the menu of just about any restaurant.

The town of  Meersburg is opposite of the university town Constance. You can take a boat over to visit Meersburg or take the car ferry which is available several times each hour.

Look at some of the pictures of Lake Constance to see how beautiful this Lake is!

Black Forest Travel Guide

A written Black Forest Travel Guide is difficult to find. Most travel books encompass all of Germany, only mentioning a few sentences about the Black Forest. The Black Forest of Germany is a popular travel destination for German and European visitors and therefore most of the information available to visitors is written in German or another European language. There are travel books like Rick Steves’ Travel Guide to Germany. But Rick Steves, after all, is a tourist as well. His knowledge and understanding of the Black Forest is limited to his own experience, not what you would get directly from a local. If you want to travel like a local – we are the locals.

Over the years we have compiled all our experiences into one compact Black Forest Travel Guidebook. With each purchase of one of our Black Forest tours you will be receiving a complimentary copy of the ‘Feel at Home in the Black Forest’ travel guide. Different sections will explain the local food to you, the local traditions and customs. With our guide you can confidently travel in the Black Forest.
