Must-Try!

Soft egg noodles often served with cheese (Käsespätzle) or alongside roasts; available at most family-run restaurants.

Potato-based dumplings, sometimes served with sauerkraut or bacon — a regional comfort food found in taverns and gasthäuser.

Expect seasonal mushroom dishes, smoked ham, and desserts like Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake) in cafés.

Small weekly markets in town or nearby villages sell fresh bread, cheeses, sausages, farm produce and sometimes prepared snacks — ideal for picnic supplies.

Germans value punctuality for appointments and tours — arrive on time for reservations and transport.

Use formal address (Sie) with strangers and older people until invited to use first names or du.

Respect local quiet hours (nighttime and often a mid-afternoon quiet period in some residential areas) — keep noise down in accommodations.

Follow the local waste sorting rules (separate bins for paper, plastics, organic waste and glass) — it’s taken seriously.

In restaurants round up the bill or leave about 5–10% for good service; in cafés and casual places simply rounding up is common. Taxi drivers and hotel porters appreciate small tips for service.

Cards (EC/debit and increasingly credit cards) are widely accepted but smaller shops, markets and some inns prefer cash (Euro). Carry some cash and use contactless payments where offered.

Flowers and fresh green forests — trails reopen and waterfalls swell; weather can be changeable, so pack layers and waterproofs.

Warm, pleasant weather for hiking and outdoor dining; spa and beer gardens are in full swing. Expect occasional thunderstorms in afternoons.

Colorful foliage in the Black Forest makes for spectacular hikes and photography; cooler mornings and crisp air — ideal for outdoor activities.

Cold and sometimes snowy in higher areas; the town is quieter, spa visits are especially appealing, and nearby higher trails offer cross-country skiing when conditions permit.

Riverside and valley hikes following the Nagold with easy to moderate routes suitable for families and leisurely walkers.

Higher-elevation routes offering panoramic views of the surrounding forested hills; options for full-day hikes or shorter viewpoint walks.

A regional circuit connecting small towns and castle ruins, mix of village paths and forest tracks with cultural stops.

Short, scenic loops from the town center up to castle viewpoints and back — ideal for photography and sunset visits.

Road cycling and mountain biking are popular on valley roads and forest tracks.

A favoured fitness activity in spa towns, with dedicated routes and groups.

Vegetarian options (cheese Spätzle, salads, vegetable sides) are widely available in restaurants; mention dietary needs and many places will adapt dishes.

Vegan choices are growing but more limited in small towns; look for salads, vegetable-based sides, and bakeries that can provide dairy-free bread — larger supermarkets in nearby towns carry vegan products.

Gluten-free options are available in some cafés and restaurants but less common; ask staff and consider bringing staples if you have strong sensitivity.

Staff in family-run places are usually helpful — show ingredient lists or allergy cards in German to avoid misunderstandings.
