Outdoor Sommer

Outdoor Sommer

The fresh, clear air here in the Bernau high valley literally invites you to move in nature and do sports. Step by step you approach the enchanting nature of the southern Black Forest biosphere area and feel how the power of the forest, the fresh mountain meadows and crystal-clear streams serve your physical fitness and health. After a few days you will feel the difference.

Premium hiking trails

The panoramic hiking trail "Hochtalsteig" leads as a high-altitude trail on the south side along the entire high valley and, on a clear day, allows a view of the Alps. With the Albsteig, another premium hiking trail leads through Bernau. From Bernau-Innerlehen, where our hotel is located, the Albsteig trail leads along the banks of the Bernauer Alb to the Spitzenberg sports centre. From here you cross Bernau-Dorf and hike on narrow paths over the disc rock, sunny pastures and shady forests up to the Krunkelbachhütte. Before that, there is a wonderful view over the Bernau high valley. From the hut it goes through an idyllic valley, wide forest paths and a narrow path up to the Herzogenhorn. From this highest point on the Albsteig there is a fantastic panoramic view over the Black Forest to the Alps. From the summit, the Albsteig leads hikers via the Herzogenhorn performance center to the top of the Feldberg pass.

Pedestal with canopy lounger

On the small Spießhorn there is a newly created viewing platform with a comfortable sky lounger. This is a comfortable place to take a break and recover from the ascent. There are more sky loungers along the Hochtalsteig. All are in beautiful locations with a view over Bernau and the surrounding countryside.

forest bathing

The rustling of the leaves, the singing of the birds, the scent of herbs, fresh grass and damp forest floor, the play of shadow and light - there is hardly any better place to switch off and recharge your batteries than in the forest. Known as "Shinrin-Yoku", it originally comes from Japan. Translated, it means something like "bathing in the forest air". Japanese researchers recognized the positive health effects of a walk in the forest early on. The forest is a place rest and relaxation. But it also has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the general immune system and the psyche. According to some studies, a stay in the forest even mobilizes the body's natural cancer-killer cells. Just try it.

Mountain bike

For mountain bikers, Bernau with its many surrounding peaks is an ideal tour area, for pleasure cyclists these altitude meters are a pleasure, especially with the electric bike. Take a test ride on the e-bike or mountain bike!
