Love this little village and looks like it is straight from a fairytale. They have workshops you can watch- glassblowing, cuckoo clock demonstration, & Black Forest Cake demonstration. There is a giant cuckoo clock in the center of the village that you can watch every half hour. They have so many unique and fun clocks you can look at or buy. The Black Forest cake demonstration is done downstairs in the cafe where you can also get slices of cake, other snacks & drinks. read more

Okay this is a unique place. It is a hotel meets some unique areas of the Black Forest. You will see glass blowing, cookoo clocks, a bar, and so much more. You will also see hiking trails to go deeper into the Black Forest. So yes this place can be a little touristy but also not at the same time. You can avoid the touristy areas by going deeper into the Black Forest trails. read more

Really relaxing spot for a drink. They have tables with menus but I think you have to walk up and order them bring the food to your table. I only had a beer because of already eaten but it's a really nice spot to relax and have a cold one. It's quiet and scenic and nice on a sunny day in the shade. Definitely recommend after a day of walking and shopping. read more

Hofgut Sternen - Beer - German Near Me - Breitnau, BW

I stayed at the Hofgut Sternen as part of a Trafalgar tour group on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. It was an especially hot day, 98 degrees F. We were told the rooms did not have air conditioning, but we could open the windows for a breeze. Bugs wouldn't be a problem because they plant geraniums in window boxes that repel bugs. My room was on the 3rd floor of the main building. When I walked into my room it was SO hot I almost passed out. The heat immediately made me nauseous. I opened the 2 large windows, but it didn't help much since the roof overhang mostly blocked the windows and kept any breeze from entering. Also, there were no window boxes filled with geraniums outside. There were also NO screens on the windows and no ceiling fan in the room. I asked the front desk for and received a fan for my room. Before going to bed, I took a cool shower to combat the heat, however I was soon lying in bed in a puddle of sweat. The fan did little to help with the heat. Before long, I was swarmed with bugs that I had to swat away ALL NIGHT LONG. It was NOT a restful night. If the hotel is not going to install air conditioning, the very LEAST it could do is put screens on the windows and install a ceiling fan in every room. Sweating and battling bugs crawling on me all night is NOT the way I want to spend my vacation! read more

An amazing location in Germany's Black Forest. The restaurant is very quaint and homey and the food is delicious. If you're traveling with dietary restrictions the staff are very accommodating. Also consider staying at their hotel, great rooms too. read more
