Hiking Trails and Indoor Pool
Of Gundelfingen’s numerous hiking trails, around 50 kilometres are marked by the Black Forest Association. This approximate figure makes hiking a clear focus when planning days in the town.
The Obermattenbad is an indoor swimming pool with a multi-purpose pool, four 25-metre lanes, a non-swimmer area and a diving area with a 1-metre diving board and a 3-metre diving tower. This offers a choice between hiking and spending time at the indoor pool as different activity options. Check the pool operator’s latest visitor information.
Market and Historical Perspectives
The Gundelfingen farmers’ market has been held regularly since 1990, on Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons. You can fit these two time slots into different parts of your week, depending on your plans. Check the latest details before visiting.
Zähringen Castle, located within Gundelfingen’s municipal area, is a destination for an excursion and was the ancestral seat of the Dukes and town founders of Zähringen. The Gundelfingen Cultural Trail includes the Englerbeck-Huus in its presentation of historic buildings. The castle and cultural trail thus offer two different historical perspectives: the history of the Zähringen dynasty and a focus on historic buildings.
In the wider Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald destination
The wider area also offers other options to consider when planning your trip. Many towns in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district can be reached by train. With the free KONUS guest card, you can travel free of charge on local trains and buses throughout the Black Forest.
At Badeparadies Schwarzwald in Titisee, it is summer all year round, with temperatures reminiscent of summer on 365 days of the year, real palm trees and turquoise-blue water. Its Galaxy water park offers more than 25 attractions and water fun for all ages.
In Feldberg, Fundorena includes a trampoline park spread across three levels. Fundorena X Mind Arena consists of six stations.

Choose the Right Focus
When choosing a holiday apartment, it helps to consider two things: which of Gundelfingen’s local attractions you would like to shape your stay around, and whether you would also like to include experiences in the wider Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald destination. If hiking trails, the market or history are your deciding factors, you can search specifically for Gundelfingen. The water and activity attractions elsewhere in the wider destination offer additional options to include in your travel plans.
