I usually stay there at least 4 and I'm a repeat visitor, if you couldn't tell. In my opinion, if you discover all the nooks and crannies that I have done, especially if you also want to look across the river Rhine at some of the incredibly beautiful villages of the Alsace (although Gengenbach will give most of them a real run for their money) you can easily eat up 5 to 7 days.

For both, as long as you don't stay in the city, you can have free transportation on the extremely scenic (more scenic to me than the road) railway which winds, twists, and climbs right through the heart of the Black Forest. And many more.įor the northern Black Forest I prefer Gengenbach, for the southern I prefer villages around the Königstuhl or Freiburg im Breisgau area. Germany's Black Forest and Cologne Season 1 Episode 6 26m 40s Rick teams up with his wife and kids to enjoy the good life, dipping into a classy mineral spa, trying our luck at a fancy casino, devouring chocolate-cherry cake, and exploring Germany's most romantic forest. One huge one near Munich airport in Erding, a lovely curative one near Freiburg im Breisgau.
There are some high end hotels (I liked the Dorint) and a few lower ones - I didn't like the Holiday Inn - and the spas are nice.īut I have found many spas even nicer, for what I want, all over Germany. The town itself is small and clean, with nice streets. We want to explore beautiful black forest towns and so a scenic short hike, eat black forest cake, see some cuckoo clocks, take a scenic train / b.
We will base ourselves in Gengenbach for the 3 nights.
What is it about Baden Baden which calls to you? The reason I ask is that Baden Baden is not really representative of the Black Forest, and is a little bit north and west of where you may prefer, and you are coming from the east. Hi Everyone We will be in the Black Forest (4 adults, age 30 - 35) from 30 April.
