Holiday in Titisee

About Titisee

Titisee is the most famous lake in the Black Forest and a natural jewel framed by dark fir trees and gentle hills — the essence of Black Forest romance. The glacial lake at an altitude of 845 meters was formed during the last Ice Age and has been enchanting visitors for over 150 years with its clear water and fairy-tale surroundings. The spa town of Titisee-Neustadt on the northern shore is the tourist center of the High Black Forest and is known for its lakeside promenade with souvenir shops, where the famous Black Forest cuckoo clocks are offered in all sizes and variations — from hand-carved originals to modern designer clocks. The Feldberg (1,493 m) — the highest mountain in the Black Forest — is only 15 minutes away and offers the largest ski area in the region in winter with views extending to the Alps and panoramic hikes over blooming mountain meadows in summer. The Wutach Gorge — Germany's 'Grand Canyon' — is half an hour to the east and impresses with a 30 km long, wild romantic gorge. The Badische Wine Route and the Black Forest High Road open up the region for pleasure drivers, while the Schluchsee — the largest lake in the Black Forest — is just 10 minutes further south, inviting swimming, sailing, and diving. The Black Forest cherry cake, ham, and cherry brandy are culinary icons that are still handcrafted here.
