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.

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.

Black Forest by Train

Interested in exploring the Black Forest by Train? Our experience shows that is quite difficult to figure out what trains and busses to take through the Black Forest. In many cities like Munich or Berlin you have a hop-on-hop-off bus showing you all the attractions. But there is no bus tour in English you can hop on to see all the Black Forest attractions. Many guidebooks talking about the Black Forest are in German only. And the train system is somewhat difficult to figure out. We created several Black Forest itineraries which take you through different parts of the Black Forest showing you many of the must-see attractions. Hop on the Black Forest Railway for a scenic ride. We point out where to shop for a cuckoo clock, where to eat a piece of Black Forest cake or where that Black Forest restaurant is located all the locals talk about. When you purchase one of our all-day tours you can be assured that you have plenty of details on what trains to take, what stops to get off and where to change to another train or bus. Explore the Black Forest by train and bus with our help! See you soon in the Black Forest!
