Surrounding area and leisure opportunities

In the Upper Black Forest hiking is still one of the most popular holiday activities. The virtually endless possibilities for walks and hikes on widely differing routes attract many thousands of visitors to the region. All the routes are signposted, so you will have no problems finding your way. Lenzkirch is situated in the Upper Black Forest between the beautiful Lake Titisee and Lake Schluchsee, Feldberg and the Wutachschlucht. Hiking in these locations is a wonderful experience and will make your heart leap. Another destination is the observation tower on the Hochfirst mountain. In Lenzkirch you can go on a journey of discovery with your children through the birdlife and nature (www.tourismus-bw.de/Media/Touren/Mit-Kindern-in-die-Lenzkircher-Vogelwelt)
Hikes through the gorges in the surrounding area such as the Wutachschlucht www.wutachschlucht.de/, Haslachschlucht (www.schwarzwald-tourismus.info/Media/Attraktionen/Haslachschlucht-mit-Hoellloch-und-Rechenfelsen) and Ravennaschlucht (www.hochschwarzwald.de/Media/Attraktionen/Ravennaschlucht) are also highly recommended.
Or you can explore the waterfalls in Triberg and in Schaffhausen.

Skiing in the locality is now very limited as a result of climate change.
The Feldberg ski resort, however, is a very safe bet – information, prices and webcams are available at: www.liftverbund-feldberg.de. Weather permitting, you can ski nearby in the small ski resorts of Lenzkirch/Saig (2 lifts), Kappel (1 lift), Altglashütten (1 lift), Fischbach (1 lift) or Hinterzarten (3 lifts).

Provided there is snow, cross-country skiing pistes are also available in Lenzkirch (Urseespur, Ruhbühlspur, Pflumbergspur, Grünwaldspur), in Saig (Rotkreuzspur, Hochfirstspur, Mühlingen training track) and in Kappel (Hohbaumspur, Hochfirstspur, Antoniusspur). Detailed information about cross-country skiing pistes is available at: http://www.loipenportal.de/schwarzwald

In summer the natural lakes close-by tempt bathers to take a dip, e.g. the Titisee or Windgfällweiher or the Schluchsee, which is a reservoir. The thermal spas of Freiburg, Badenweiler, Bad Krozingen, Bad Zurzach and Bad Dürrheim are located within a radius of 50 km.
You can also use the open-air pools in Lenzkirch (heated, with children’s playground, volleyball pitch and much more) and in Kappel (Sports). Another bathing option is the Aqua Fun Adventure Pool in Schluchsee Attractions Aqua-Fun.
During cooler periods or in bad weather the indoor pools and paradises, such as the Black Forest Bathing Paradise in Titisee or the Ruhbühl Holiday Village in Lenzkirch, with an indoor pool, sauna and health and beauty facilities, are inviting.

You can play tennis in Lenzkirch in the Ruhbühl Holiday Village and at the local tennis club.
