Camping at Titisee – The large natural lake is one of the attractions in the Black Forest.
Overall, the area is very popular due to its natural highlights and exciting sights, which is why the campsites are not only busy in summer but also in winter.
Whether skiing or tobogganing in winter, wine tasting on a tour in summer or fun and relaxation with the whole family in the largest swimming paradise in the south.
There’s something for everyone here!
The best way to travel is with a roof tent or tent trailer, as this way you are not tied to just one place, but can visit several of the beautiful spots.
Whether alone, as a couple or with the whole family including children and dog – here are our vacation tips!
Camping Ratgeber:
Black Forest highlight: boating or hiking in the countryside
The lake – Lake Titisee itself is something very special.
It is located in the southern nature park of the Black Forest and is only 50 kilometers from the Swiss border.
This makes it ideal for a leisurely stroll.
As you hike around it, you will discover the most spectacular views of the surrounding area.
The most popular path around the lake takes around 90 minutes, perhaps longer with small children.
The path is clearly marked and surrounded by cafés, bars and restaurants for a snack in between.
We recommend taking a longer break at two places in particular: At the bathing area and at the lower Seebachtal.
At one stop you will discover a view that you won’t easily forget and at the other you can relax and enjoy sunbathing.
And what’s not to be missed afterwards?
A delicious slice of original Black Forest gateau!
Not a fan of hiking?
Then how about a boat trip?
Sailing your own boat on Lake Titisee is a real dream.
However, as they tend to be a little heavier, it makes more sense to hire one.
Children will love the paddle boats that look like real motorboats.
