Select participants and date
You step out of a climate-controlled Mercedes and the road peels away into a green bowl—railroad ties, steep pastures and firs marching up the slopes. The chauffeur eases the car through a valley that smells faintly of wood smoke and wet earth; within an hour the trees open and the Black Forest reveals its signature contrast of quiet villages and sudden, commanding views.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early for clearer summit views
Feldberg’s visibility improves mid-morning; early departures avoid low cloud and afternoon crowds at the gondola.
Comfortable, grippy shoes
Expect short hikes, stairs at the gondola station and the bridge approach—trail or hiking shoes provide better traction than sandals.
Bring a light waterproof layer
Mountain weather changes quickly—pack a compact rain jacket even if the forecast is mild.
Watch for peat bog closures
Stay on marked trails around highland bogs to protect fragile habitats and avoid fines.
