Details

On the edge of Germany’s Black Forest, near the village of Grafenhausen in Baden-Württemberg, Berggeheimnis offers a one-of-a-kind interactive journey through history and nature. The Die doppelte Biergit | Brauerei Rothaus experience invites small groups to step back to 1903 and follow the trail of Biergit Kraft, a local figure whose story is woven into the fabric of Schwarzwald’s heritage and the famed Rothaus Brewery.

This isn’t a typical brewery tour or a simple hike—it’s an immersive puzzle adventure that combines outdoor discovery with cooperative problem-solving. Participants engage with the stunning backdrop of dense fir and beech forests, moss-covered granite outcrops, and crisp mountain air, all while piecing together clues tied to Rothaus’s century-old brewing secrets.

The Schwarzwald, known for its dramatic terrain carved by glacial activity and sprinkled with sparkling creeks, provides a natural playground rich with biodiversity, including deer and elusive birds like the wood grouse. This activity highlights the region’s blend of cultural tradition and wild landscape, offering a distinctly tactile way to connect with the local environment.

What sets Berggeheimnis apart is its focus on teamwork and storytelling, making it ideal for friends, families, or corporate groups looking to deepen their bond in a memorable setting. The thoughtfully designed challenges encourage participants to engage both mentally and physically, pacing through trails that balance accessibility with rewarding vistas.

Visitors should be prepared for variable weather and bring gear suitable for moderate hiking. The unfolding narrative of Biergit Kraft and Rothaus brewery history makes this experience a meaningful detour from conventional outdoor activities. In a region defined by outdoor adventure and craft heritage, Die doppelte Biergit stands out as an inventive synthesis of landscape, lore, and local flavor.
