Excursions in the Black Forest

For families
– Experience & have fun

Black Forest House of the Senses

An interactive museum for young and old that brings the human senses to life. Hear, smell, see, feel, and much more:

  • Take a sniff! The flowers in the cottage garden in front of the house are beautiful to look at, but the scent is confusing... What is being foisted on visitors here?
  • Lights off, senses on! How do you cope when you have to do without your sense of sight? What is completely normal for blind people seems quite eerie to us at first. So: bring your courage.

Hoffnungsstollen exhibition mine

The family tours through the Todtmoos visitor mine "Hoffnungsstollen" are a very special experience. Following in the footsteps of the miners, you will pass through mysterious tunnels, deep shafts, and rugged walls. Where sparkling mineral resources were once sought, there was always the hope of wealth.

Put on your miner's helmet and lamp and set off on a treasure hunt! A worthwhile destination with fascinating anecdotes and exciting insights into life underground. The ideal program for a rainy day in Schluchsee.

Faller jams

For over 100 years, Faller has been producing high-quality jams according to a traditional family recipe in the southern Black Forest. Learn more about the secret of jams from the open copper kettle at the "Digital Manufacturing Experience" (daily from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. every half hour and hour). An impressive film gives you an insight into the production process and the history of the factory.

For culture enthusiasts – buildings worth seeing

Baroque Church & Rococo Library of St. Peter

You can gain a unique insight into the former Benedictine abbey of St. Peter in the Black Forest during the regular guided tours of the monastery, the Prince's Hall, and the library. Guided tours usually take place three times a week and are the only way to see the magnificent interior (dates & tickets).

The Hüsli

The Hüsli local history museum was built in 1911 as a luxurious vacation home for the Berlin concert singer Helene Siegfried. The Hüsli later became famous in the TV series "Schwarzwaldklinik" as the residence of Professor Dr. Brinkmann. Components and furnishings were carefully selected and collected over many years, so that today the Hüsli still offers a unique insight into times long past.

Activities in the rain at the Vier Jahreszeiten am Schluchsee

There is also plenty to experience at the Vier Jahreszeiten family hotel on Schluchsee itself: children can romp around in the indoor play area, splash around in the pool, try their hand at tennis or billiards, and of course take part in the varied children's program.

Meanwhile, adults can relax in the wellness area or pamper themselves with a soothing treatment. The daily activity program with aqua gym, yoga, or fascia training also promises a varied day.

Young and old alike can enjoy homemade cakes and pastries from the patisserie, delicious ice cream, healthy smoothies, and much more at Café Gugelhupf throughout the day.

And that's not all: after the culinary highlight of the day, the 6-course half-board menu in the panorama restaurant, you can look forward to live music at the bar and changing offers from the entertainment team, such as Casino Royale evenings.

Rest assured that even if it rains at Schluchsee, you won't get bored on a vacation at the Vier Jahreszeiten!
