General presentation
Foret-Noire sud
The most mountainous part of the Black Forest, between Feldberg, lakes, farms, waterfalls and accesses from Fribourg.
Feldberg, Titisee and Schluchsee give the most telling landmarks of Foret-Noir Sud. Together, they form a destination where forests, mountain reliefs, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: changing weather and very demanding sites. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Triberg im Schwarzwald
Triberg has several very concrete images of the Black Forest: cascading waterfalls, cuckoo clock shops, and houses with steep roofs. Falls attract people during the day, but the surrounding trails allow you to quickly find the smell of spruce and the sound of water.
Remarkable location
Bad Säckingen
Bad Säckingen borders the Rhine with its long wooden covered bridge, colourful facades and the silhouette of the Fridolinsmünster. The city is well suited for a gentle stage between Black Forest and Switzerland, especially to walk along the river and observe the border as a simple daily passage.
Remarkable location
Hinterzarten
Hinterzarten is an altitude village turned towards woods, meadows and Nordic sports, with the ski jumping springboard as the most recognizable signal. In summer, the paths to the gorges and the nearby lakes give a cooler and more active version of the Black Forest.
Place
Feldberg
The Feldberg gives access to the most open landscapes of the South Black Forest, between stubble, forests and distant views in clear weather. Depending on the season, the experience changes significantly: hiking, snow, panoramas or simple altitude break.
