Facts and practical information

Nestled in the heart of the Black Forest, Titisee is a serene lake that beckons visitors with its crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings. This natural lake in Germany is a jewel of the region, offering a tranquil escape and a variety of recreational activities.

Formed by the melting glaciers of the last Ice Age, Titisee spans approximately 1.3 square kilometers. Its shores are lined with lush forests and gentle hills, creating a postcard-perfect landscape that changes with the seasons. In the summer, the lake becomes a hub for water sports enthusiasts, with opportunities for swimming, windsurfing, sailing, and paddle-boating. The well-maintained walking paths around the lake provide a peaceful retreat for hikers and nature lovers.

During the colder months, the region transforms into a winter wonderland. The frozen lake invites ice-skaters, while the surrounding Black Forest offers cross-country skiing trails. The nearby Feldberg mountain, the highest peak in the Black Forest, provides excellent downhill skiing and snowboarding options.

The town of Titisee-Neustadt, located on the north shore of the lake, is a charming destination in itself. Visitors can explore local shops selling traditional cuckoo clocks and Black Forest ham, or relax in one of the many cafes and restaurants offering regional cuisine.
