Freudenstadt and its Districts

Event gastronomy and holidays in hotels, guesthouses and
holiday apartments of the finest. Glorious holiday enjoyment in
the idyllic Lauterbad - just 3 km from Freudenstadt, surrounded
by open countryside. Lauterbad, the El Dorado for holidaymakers
looking for peace, relaxation, a sense of atmosphere, exclusivity
and family flair. Or to put it casually: anyone who expects the unusual and expects to be pampered comes to Lauterbad. Far
from traffic, stress and hectic activity.

Five hotels with two, three and four-star comfort, a number of
guest­houses and holiday apartments welcome you warmly. From
health and beauty facilities that are unordinary to romantic Black
Forest houses for famlies with children, from the finest cuisine for
the discerning palette to robust illing high teas in cosy traditional
guesthouses - you will find everything in Lauterbad.

Right at the front door lies the ideal Black Forest landscape for
bikers, for walkers, for nature-lovers and for those who simply
want to switch off. A paradise for demanding mountain bikers.
A center for carvers and skiers, cross-country skiers and
snowboarders. The 18-hole Freudenstadt golf course is
just minutes away and can be reached easily  on foot.

Like an island in the apparently endless sea of pines and firs,
the climatic therapy and winter sport resort of Kniebis lies on a mountain plateau. The surrounding area and the village itself are shaped by the inherent beauty ofthe landscape. Pure mountain
air in harmony with vibrant natural beauty creates ideal condtions for a close-to-nature holiday at any time of year.

Hospitality and tradition - the characteristics of the Black Forest village of Kniebis. Culinary pleasures from the kitchens of Baden
and Swabia, flavored by the closeness of the Alsace, pamper
the senses as thoroughly as do the incomparable natural
surroundings. Kniebis is also a hit with  children: forest playgrounds, holiday programs for children and crazy golf tournaments offer ample opportunity for playing and romping.

Winter too is an experience in Kniebis. Bracing air, cleared hiking trails, toboggan runs and torch-lit nighttime walking tours attract not only winter sports enthusiasts. You also find ideal conditions with cleared courses, a flood-lit circular course in the ski stadium and lifts to the Kniebis mountan (1000 m. above sea level).

Zwieselberg, the "island" in the midst f unspoiled nature, is a paradise for hikers . Hiking trails through dense fir and pine
forests lead the walker to breath-taking viewpoints with vistas
of the Swabian Alb, the southern Black Forest and even the
Swiss Alps. In winter, cross-country skiers will find carefully prepared courses.

All-round relaxation is to be found in Igelsberg, a Mecca for
nature-lovers. Meadows and forests as far as the eye can see
and the Erzgrube reservoir tempt the visitor to embark on long
walks, cycling tours or playful adventures for the youngest.

Idyllically set on a plateau surrounded by forest and meadows -
that is Musbach. Here you can switch off completely or enjoy an
ctive holiday. A wide range of activities - tennis, crazy golf,
cycling, sailing or surfing in the nearb Erzgrube artificial lake -
are all particularly enjoyable in this oasis of peace.

Grüntal-Frutenhof could have been created especially for family
holidays. Here everyone will feel at home, the children charging
around in the attractively-located playground while the adults
enjoy the pastoral surroundings on cycling tours or long walks.
And despite all the hospitality it is still not too hard on the
pocket - thanks to economically-priced rooms which are to be
found in traditional guesthouses, private homes and family-
centered holiday apartments.

The hoteliers and landlords in Dietersweiler have a feeling for
combining the traditonal with modern recreation. Black Forest
folklore in the lovingly-restored village museum is the ideal
complement to attractive tennis courts and idyllic cycle paths
and hiking trails.

Anyone planning an active family holiday will find the very
best conditions in Wittlensweiler: swimming in the indoor
pool followed by a visit to the sauna, hiking tours through
the unspoiled nature, games in adventure playgrounds
and barbecues on the edge of the forest delight not only
the children.
