Hinterzarten between Raised Bog and Winter Sports
Accommodation in Hinterzarten
Hinterzarten combines the natural landscape of a raised bog with distinctive winter sports facilities. In the Hinterzarten Moor Nature Reserve, you can get a glimpse of the characteristic vegetation of a raised bog; on the edge of town are the four ski jumps of the Adler Ski Stadium. There is also a 10.9-kilometre route through forests and the facilities of the Windeck Ski Centre. These different highlights can help you plan your trip around nature, trails or winter sports.

Raised Bog, Legendary Figures and Forest Trails
The Hinterzarten Moor Nature Reserve offers a glimpse of the characteristic vegetation of a raised bog. This gives Hinterzarten a distinct landscape focus alongside its sports-oriented facilities: the focus is on the vegetation and distinctive character of the raised bog. If you are weighing up nature and winter sports when planning your holiday, this difference can help you decide on the focus you want.
Along the Raised Bog Circular Trail are the Moorwächter, legendary figures carved from wood. They give the trail a storytelling element. The Säbelthoma Trail, by contrast, focuses on the forest, Mathisleweiher and viewpoints: this 10.9 km route leads through dense forests to these destinations. The two trails therefore differ in their described character—carved figures on the Raised Bog Circular Trail, and a route through the forest to the pond and viewpoints on the other.
Winter Sports: Ski Jumps and Runs
The Adler Ski Stadium is on the edge of Hinterzarten. Its four ski jumps serve as an Olympic training base for ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes in the Black Forest. This is a distinct way to experience winter sports, different from the lifts and runs at the Windeck Ski Centre.
The Windeck Ski Centre has three ski lifts and five downhill runs with a total length of 4 km. These figures give a clear overview of what is available there: the focus here is on lifts and downhill runs, rather than ski jumps for ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes. Operating conditions at the ski centre may vary; check them before your visit.
Choose a Holiday Apartment to Suit Your Plans
When looking for a holiday apartment in Hinterzarten, it is worth deciding first what you want to focus on during your trip: the raised bog and trails, the Adler Ski Stadium, or the lifts and downhill runs.
