Bernau

Bernau im Schwarzwald is a German municipality in Baden-Württemberg, located in the Waldshut district at the heart of the southern Black Forest. Nestled in a valley surrounded by wooded hills and pastures, this climatic health resort offers an unspoilt natural setting, ideal for outdoor breaks. Its proximity to the Feldberg, the highest peak in the range, makes it a popular starting point for summer hiking and winter snow activities, particularly cross-country skiing along the region's numerous marked trails. The village retains a rural character typical of the Black Forest, with traditional farmhouses featuring steep roofs and wooden chalets scattered across the surrounding countryside. The clean air and tranquillity of the area attract visitors seeking nature and peace away from city life. The surroundings also offer opportunities for walks through fir forests and meadows, alongside the chance to sample local Baden-Württemberg specialities. Bernau therefore serves as a pleasant base for exploring the Black Forest, combining nature, relaxation and outdoor pursuits.
