Holiday in Todtnauberg – The Black Forest at Its Best
Nature, adventure & peace at over 1,000 metres above sea level
Todtnauberg isn’t the place for big crowds or noisy backdrops – it’s where you come for clear mountain air, sweeping views, and genuine moments in nature. Up here in the High Black Forest, your day starts right outside the hotel: with hiking trails, winter fun, family adventures, and countless little memories that stay with you.
Hotel Engel is your starting point – right at the heart of it all.
Summer Holidays in Todtnauberg
Blooming meadows, clear streams, and your favourite trails starting right at the hotel
When the meadows are in bloom and the Black Forest is glowing green, it’s time to get moving. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a long family hike – you’ll find plenty of ways to explore, starting straight from the hotel. And if you fancy cycling, we’ve got e-bikes with child trailers ready for you to borrow.
When Todtnauberg turns white, there’s a sense of winter calm all around – and at the same time, it’s full of activity: right in the village, you’ll find family-friendly ski lifts, cross-country trails, sledding slopes and winter hiking paths. We’re happy to lend sledges and snowshoes to our little and big guests – free of charge.
Waterfalls, wide open views, and pure Black Forest – all within walking distance
Right outside Hotel Engel, nature is waiting to be discovered – many of the region’s most beautiful sights in and around Todtnauberg are easily reached on foot, even with a pushchair.
One highlight is the Todtnau Waterfall, one of the highest natural waterfalls in Germany. Water cascades down in stages over a total of 97 metres – an impressive natural spectacle that you can explore via a family-friendly walking path.
Just a few minutes further along is another must-see: the Blackforestline – a modern suspension bridge with spectacular views over the waterfall and the Wiesental valley. If you’re feeling brave, this is a whole new way to experience the Black Forest – airy, safe and easily accessible for all.
And when it’s time for a break, the world’s longest wooden forest lounger invites you to relax and look up at the sky – a picture-perfect spot to catch your breath.
Stay two nights or more at Hotel Engel and you’ll receive the Hochschwarzwald Card for free. With it, you get access to over 100 attractions in the region – from water parks and mountain railways to indoor play areas – each one available once for free or at a discounted rate during your stay.
Nature experiences, yoga & fitness – all right here
