Where man and nature live in perfect harmony…
... and all is well with the world. Baiersbronn, a byword for endless forests, clean rivers and streams, fragrant air and a particularly pleasant climate. Baiersbronn, ideally located on the doorstep to France and Switzerland and for trips to Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Freiburg and Baden-Baden or to the Europa Park in Rust. Baiersbronn, your very own oasis of calm, at the same time as the starting point for lots of eventful days out.
However, you don’t, of course, have to leave the holiday resort to experience something new every day. You just have to step out of your front door to discover the romantic meadowed valleys that seem to be of another century. Immerse yourself in the mysterious world of the moors. Marvel at the calm cirque lakes, remnants of impressive glaciers. Here, spectacular waterfalls alternate with almost alpine rock formations, southern vegetation grows side by side with spruce and fir trees, red beech, sycamore, mountain ash and Carpathian birch. Not surprisingly, this is home to an extremely varied animal kingdom. Discover deer and kingfishers and listen to the call of the cuckoo. After all, we are in the Black Forest, and the cuckoo is just as much as home here as the black woodpecker and the peregrine falcon.
In this delightful landscape, you will meet people who really know the meaning of the word hospitality. The patrons of over 500 hotels, guesthouses, holiday apartments and farms are looking forward to welcoming you and your family and to doing everything they can to ensure you have a relaxing holiday.
Holiday fun for young and old...
... which is what we are famous for throughout Germany. And it’s not surprising, because here the family is given pride of place, and we even have that in writing. Baiersbronn was named one of the 17 most family-friendly holiday resorts in Baden-Württemberg.
So what exactly does that mean? It means that, here, families will find all they need for a successful holiday: children experience an unforgettable time. For example, during the exciting events that take place as part of the ”Baiersbronn Children’s Summer”. Or in our enchanting forests, where, together with employees of the Ruhestein Conservation Centre, they can still experience the unspoilt adventure of nature. And whilst all this is going on, parents can simply relax and recharge their batteries. Or enjoy a spot of pampering in one of our numerous wellness centres. Or they can relax by walking, mountain biking, inline skating or paragliding. The older visitors can go for a stroll through the endless forests, enjoy the views from hilly vantage points or walk through romantic valleys.
A holiday for all the family, because there’s something here for everyone!
It’s a deal: a little sport every day and...
... lots and lots of fun. In Baiersbronn, it really isn’t difficult to do something for your health and fitness. Whether a passionate angler, inline skater or mountain biker, whether a paraglider or walker, Baiersbronn is the outdoor Mecca for lots of people. All kinds of sports are right on our doorstep. Simply step outside, get going and have some fun – that’s all there is to it in this holiday resort.
So what would you like to do? Golf or hang-gliding? Squash or chess? Swimming or tennis? Or would you like to explore our holiday region on Shank’s pony? Baiersbronn, in the heart of the Black Forest, offers you everything you need to make walking a truly pleasurable experience. Varied landscapes at different altitudes: from 450 metres above sea level to almost 1,100 metres above sea level.
Gorgeous views and murmuring forests. Everything that sport-lovers could desire.
Nordic walking
Nordic walking is more than just the latest fad, it’s also extremely good for you. Hugely popular in Scandinavia for years, walking with sticks is no longer something for insiders. After all, otherwise neglected muscles in the arms, shoulders and legs are used, and this burns more calories. On the other hand, there is less strain on the knees and joints. Give it a try – we’ll tell you where and how.
Powdery snow and tea with rum...
... and no queues by the lift; this is a very normal winter’s day in Baiersbronn. You are at the top of the Ruhestein and enjoying the clear blue sky, you blink up into the sun, down into the Rhine Valley and then set off down the slopes covered in virgin snow into the valley – what more could you want?
Variety in winter sports is also writ large in Baiersbronn: you will find chair lifts, ski lifts, floodlit slopes, toboggan runs, ski jumps and a skating rink. You can try your hand at curling, don snowshoes or ice skates – and your youngsters are, of course, also in the best of hands. Skiing, carving, snowboarding are one thing, but cross-country skiing is another. The cross-country ski runs around Baiersbronn rank amongst the best a cross-country enthusiast could hope for. Here, you will experience a landscape covered in deep snow that comes straight out of the pages of a picture book. You can enjoy views across the Black Forest and find traditional huts and inns that invite you to step inside. Fortified, you can then head out into the snowy landscape again. At the end of the day, enjoy a well-earned and relaxing evening in the sauna, the perfect end to the perfect day.
Recuperation for body and soul...
... this is essential to your holiday. Here in Baiersbronn, you can do yourself even more good: allow your body to recover from the stresses and strains of everyday life, prevent illness or find the perfect cure, get your body’s defence system back on track or rid yourself, once and for all, of chronic complaints, which have gradually taken hold. Here, conditions couldn’t be better: almost all of our sub-municipalities boast the ”good-air health resort” certification. Schönmünzach-Schwarzenberg is also known as a ”Kneipp health resort”. And Obertal-Buhlbach is even certified as a ”healthy-climate health resort”. So it’s not surprising that you’ll find a wide range of sanatoriums and wellness hotels here, an offer that other resorts can only dream of. And what is good for your
health is also good for your looks, since nothing is more
damaging to your skin than everyday anxieties and day-to-day stress. Come to us for some peace and quiet, enjoy the gifts of nature and just relax. If you allow our beauty professionals to spoil you, your Baiersbronn holiday will be an unforgettable experience. And you? You’ll keep coming again and again!
No celebration without our guests...
... this is the motto for one of our most beautiful traditions, because where can you celebrate as many festivals as here? Let’s start in the middle of the year, when the illumination of the Buhlbach or Tonbach Valley sets the sky alight with the flames of a thousand candles. In summer, the famous Black Forest Music Festival attracts music lovers from all over the world. Or do you prefer merrymaking and conviviality? Then the ”Käse-, Brot- und Weindorf” is right for you.
The ”Speck- und Most-Fest” is a rustic festival. And, as befits a holiday resort, there are all kinds of delicacies in the traditional, culinary ”Weihnachtsdorf”. And then it’s springtime again, when we are host to a very special kind of fun: the ”Ländlicher Vierkampf”! Hammering nails, sawing, milking and scything will soon have you in a sweat. And the audience will love it!
The best chefs in Germany ...
... cook just for you! It’s certainly no secret: you won’t find as many gourmet stars anywhere else in Germany. No fewer than six of these coveted Michelin stars shine above our holiday resort. This is why Baiersbronn is the number one stop for a gourmet experience – and has been for a number of years.
With or without stars, wherever you decide to eat, every meal here will be a culinary delight. This is down to the secret recipe of our chefs: always fresh ingredients and loving preparation. This is equally true of a small snack, coffee break or five-course meal. Whether simple and tasty or ”haute cuisine”, you will always find top quality at affordable prices!
