This hotel is situated in the southern Black Forest and accessible by DBB train which stops right behind the hotel every 30' from either direction. And the hotel provides guest passes to the train so for example you can hike 10km to Schluchsee from Aha (literally) and hop the train back - or hop the lake boat back. Or vice versa! Our only complaint was we had to change rooms to the back non-lake-view side since the busy main road in front (not pictured in any of the brochures) is very busy and loud with German motorcyclists! Overall friendly very informal atmosphere and good food and outrageously good breakfast buffet that will make your day. The 4-course dinner is expensive and too much food- the servers discouraged us from doing a la carte. read more
