It has been known since the 1980s that regular visits to nature are good for both body and mind. Heart rate and blood pressure drop, stress is reduced, and happiness hormones increase, leading to better performance and inner balance. Most of these findings relate to visits to green spaces.

However, in 2013, a British study found that spending time near water—whether a river, sea, or lake—leads to increased activity and less stress, thus also contributing to an overall improved sense of well-being.

Our hotel on the lake in the Black Forest – on Schluchsee, the second-largest lake in Baden-Württemberg – combines the positive effects of a stay in the countryside and by the lake. The high-altitude climate also ensures cleaner air – here, at an altitude of almost 1,000 m, the concentration of pollutants decreases and there are significantly fewer allergens in the air.

Winter at the lake is an enchanting and peaceful time, impressing visitors with its frosty beauty and wintry silence. The lake is crystal clear and sometimes covered with a thin layer of ice that glitters and sparkles, while the snow-covered trees transform the shore into a winter wonderland.

Despite the cold, the lake exudes a special tranquility and magic. The clear sky is reflected in the icy water and the sun casts sparkling reflections on the snow-covered landscape. It is a time when nature comes to rest and creates a peaceful atmosphere.

Even in winter, there are various activities on vacation in the Black Forest that make the cold months an unforgettable experience:

  1. Ice skating: When the lake is frozen, it provides the perfect ice rink for skating. Glide across the smooth ice and enjoy the winter landscape around you.
  2. Ice fishing: Ice fishing is a popular winter activity on the lake. Sit on a chair, drill a hole in the ice, and try your luck at fishing. A great way to experience nature in winter.
  3. Winter hiking: Walk along the shore or through the snow-covered forest and enjoy the silence and beauty of winter nature.
  4. Snowshoeing: Explore the area on snowshoes and discover hidden paths and snow-covered landscapes.
