Activity holidays in the Black Forest
Movement becomes connection
One step outside. The air is clear. Your thoughts wide open. And somewhere between fir green and sky blue, something starts to move – entirely of its own accord. At the Zuflucht, nature is the most beautiful gym. No pressure, no plan – just forest paths, streams and quiet ascents that bring body and mind back into balance. The ground is springy. The brook murmurs. The muscles remember. During a nature holiday, movement isn’t measured – it’s felt. On a walk. On the bike. On the cross-country trail.
Activity holidays in the Black Forest Excursion destinations around Freudenstadt
Freudenstadt in bloom
Garden Show 2025
From spring 2025, Freudenstadt and Baiersbronn will be transformed into a stage for garden art, time in nature and the region’s way of life. Blooming parks, creative exhibitions and lovingly designed experience areas invite you to stroll, marvel and pause – in the heart of the Black Forest. An excursion destination that inspires. And a perfect match for the Zuflucht’s time-in-nature feeling.
Set off. Breathe deeply. Arrive.
Hiking with wide-open views
With us, a holiday in nature doesn’t involve any travelling: From the front door, you set off straight away – along panoramic ridge paths, through deep forests or on well-known routes such as the Westweg and the Lothar Trail. What do all the routes have in common? Vast views, tranquillity and the feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be. Step by step. Entirely at your own pace. On your way back to yourself.
Cycling where the Black Forest breathes
A good feeling on two wheels
Anyone who gets on a bike at the Zuflucht quickly realises: It’s not about kilometres here, but about the experience. The region around the hotel offers varied routes for leisure cyclists, e-bikers and sporty riders – with forest tracks, scenic ridges and peaceful places to pause. Sometimes demanding, sometimes flowing, but always close to nature. And the best part: Your tour starts right outside the front door – completely unhurried, but with plenty of far-reaching views.
From Kniebis excursions to Europa-Park
When curiosity calls
There is so much to discover around the Zuflucht – excursion destinations in Freudenstadt, such as Germany’s largest market square, exciting experiences in Bad Peterstal-Griesbach like a survival camp, or the Mehliskopf adventure world with high ropes course and year-round bobsleigh track. Those looking for culture can visit the traditional Vogtsbauernhof farm museums or the spa town of Baden-Baden. And anyone in search of thrills can treat themselves to a full day of adrenaline at Europa-Park. Anything goes, nothing is a must – just how an active holiday in the Black Forest should be.
Cross-country trails, ski lift, snowshoes – right on the doorstep
Winter as it should be
In winter, the Zuflucht shows its quietest side: with cross-country trails, a small ski lift, snowshoe routes and plenty of winter magic. For everyone who don’t want winter to be louder, but more authentic. Just wrap up warm – and head out.
Active holidays for two- and four-legged friends
Those who visit the Zuflucht often don’t come alone – and that’s exactly how we like it. Four-legged friends are warmly welcome in selected rooms, and the next walk starts right outside the door. Lots of space, lots of nature, little hustle and bustle – a place where your dog can truly unwind as well.
