Specifics of the tour
Scenic
The tour starts at the Kurhaus in Schluchsee. Your route takes you along the Schluchsee and Windgfällweiher to Feldberg-Bärental. Continue along the Seesteige and you will already have wonderful views of Lake Titisee, inviting you to take a break.
Once you've reached Titisee, you can park in the car park by the bathing area - don't forget to buy a parking ticket. From here it's only a few minutes' walk to the world-famous Titisee - the largest natural lake in the Black Forest. We particularly recommend the well-signposted circular walk around the lake (about 1.5 hours). It takes you through the Kurgarten to the lakeside promenade with its many refreshment stands and shops.
After the lively Titisee promenade, continue on to today's relaxation spot - a real insider's tip. Here at Klostersee in Friedenweiler, you can enjoy a relaxing swim in the lake or the heated outdoor pool and simply relax and get ready for the next spot.
Note: There is an entrance fee for swimming at Friedenweiler.
The entrance to the Lotenbach Gorge is just opposite the car park on the B315 between Gündelwangen and Bonndorf. A steep path leads to Schattenmühle. The Lotenbach stream flows gently between granite boulders before entering the wild gorge with its waterfalls, pools and rocks. Sure-footedness and sturdy footwear are required. A head for heights is not required as some bridges and wooden walkways are maintained on the main trails of the reserve. The Schattenmühle Inn offers refreshments along the way. After refreshments, walk back up the gorge to the car park. This tour is 3.1 km long and takes about 1.5 hours.
Welcome back to Schluchsee. This is where your tour ends after an exciting day of water highlights. If you have the time and inclination, Schluchsee offers you the following
