Active Holidays in the Black Forest
Make yourself a treasure hunter
We invite you to have a look at our recommendations for your active holidays in the Black Forest. These should make it easier for you to plan and then happily anticipate your tours and activities before your arrival in our beautiful ***S Hotel Hirschen.
The Black Forest is a real holiday treasure. Discover the variety of precious stones nature presents to us here. Mineral resources, silver and ore were exploited for centuries in the closeby valleys Kinzigtal and Wolftal. Here in Oberwolfach you can visit the depths of a silver exploitation. Naturally there is more than mineral resources and stones to be discovered. Let yourself be taken away by the beauty and surprising diversity of the Black Forest..
Enjoy your individual treasure hunt during your active holidays in the Black Forest!
- Mineral resources: fascinating gemstones. To be discovered in the visitor's mine "Silbergrube Wenzel" in Oberwolfach and in "MiMa" - museum for minerals and mathematics.
- Natural resources: Green valleys and wooded highlands with stunning panoramic views. Fairytale-like trails through the forest and great biking paths. Your bit of wilderness here in the Black Forest National Park.
- A resource for your mind and soul: Black Forest houses just like in a children's picture book and pure, authentic cosiness. Comforting calm and gargling creeks. Cows and sheep on vast grasslands, deer in huge, caged areas and - with an ounce of luck - you can even catch a glimpse of them in the wilderness.
- Culinary treasures: Enjoy the genuine Black Forest taste - including the famous Black Forest Cake.
