Lake Schluchsee is the largest lake in the Black Forest and is considered one of the cleanest bathing lakes in Germany. What many people do not know: the area around the lake offers an exceptional range of leisure activities all year round, from hiking and cycling in summer to cross-country skiing and winter hiking in the colder months. Here are the best activities and excursions around your holiday apartment Traumblick.
Hiking around Lake Schluchsee
Lake Schluchsee is a popular hiking area in the Hochschwarzwald. The 18-kilometre lake circuit leads all the way around the lake with changing views of forest, meadows and water. For more demanding hikers we recommend the Jägersteig and the Riesenbühlsteig trails, with impressive views across the Hochschwarzwald.
As a guest of our holiday apartment Traumblick, you receive the KONUS guest card — with it you can use all buses and trains throughout the entire Black Forest free of charge. Ideal for day trips to Freiburg, the Feldberg or the world's largest cuckoo clock in Schonach, without needing a car.
Cycling and Mountain Biking
The trail network around Lake Schluchsee encompasses over 300 kilometres of signposted cycle paths — both for relaxed cycling on paved paths and for challenging mountain bike tours in the Upper Black Forest. Bicycle rental is available directly in the village.
Water Sports and Swimming at the Lake
Lake Schluchsee invites you to swim, stand-up paddle, sail, dive and surf from May to September. The Aqua Fun adventure pool right on the lakeshore offers water slides and play areas for the whole family. Boat tours on the lake can be conveniently booked in the town centre.
Excursions into the Region
Lake Schluchsee is centrally located in the Southern Black Forest and is an ideal base for day trips. Particularly recommended: Titisee (15 minutes), Feldberg (highest mountain in the Black Forest, 30 minutes), Freiburg im Breisgau (45 minutes), the Todtnau waterfall and the picturesque Black Forest villages of Falkau and Aha.
Winter Sports at Lake Schluchsee
In winter, Lake Schluchsee transforms into a quiet winter wonderland. The extensive cross-country skiing network as well as winter hiking trails and snowshoe routes make the region extremely attractive even in the off-season — and holiday apartments are significantly cheaper to book during this time.
