Feldberg (Black Forest): Nature and Experiences

Feldberg (Black Forest) can be explored through a variety of nature experiences: a circular trail approximately 1.8 kilometres long leads through the forest of the Feldberg Nature Reserve; an interactive permanent exhibition at the House of Nature brings the reserve to life; and the Feldberg Cable Car takes visitors up Feldberg. These activities offer different highlights—from a walk through the forest to the exhibition and a ride to the region’s highest peak. When planning, consider which of these experiences you would like to include in your stay.

The Gnome Trail: Forest and Capercaillie

The Gnome Trail at Feldberg is approximately 1.8 kilometres long and forms a circular route through the forest of the Feldberg Nature Reserve. It combines experiencing nature with stories and fascinating facts about the increasingly rare capercaillie. The route therefore focuses on both the forest and the capercaillie. If you would like to plan a stay around nature, this trail combines time outdoors with storytelling and informative elements.

Discover Nature at the House of Nature

The interactive permanent exhibition at the House of Nature offers a different perspective: it presents the Feldberg Nature Reserve in a humorous way and is suitable for all audiences. Alongside the circular trail, the exhibition presents the same natural environment in a different way. A back carrier can be borrowed at the House of Nature for younger children. If you plan to borrow one, check with the House of Nature in advance.

A Ride to the Summit and the Landscape’s History

The Feldberg Cable Car takes visitors quickly and comfortably up Feldberg, the region’s highest peak. As its operating schedule may vary seasonally, check the current timetable before making plans. The wider geographical context becomes clear at the municipal level: the municipality of Feldberg extends across the highest summit area of the southern Black Forest and the eastern slopes of the Feldberg massif. During the last ice age, this highest summit area was entirely glaciated.
