What do you recommend in summer, and what in winter?

In summer, the Durbach vineyards are the perfect setting for walks, classic car tours and picnics. The ‘sundowner’ at Staufenberg Castle, held on the first and third Wednesday of every month from May to September, and the Durbach Wine Festival in early June are particular highlights. In winter, our Black Forest Winter Challenge in January is a real treat; the Triberg Waterfalls are illuminated all year round; and Gengenbach enchants visitors during the festive season with the world’s largest Advent calendar. The Caracalla Thermal Baths in Baden-Baden offer an unforgettable experience whatever the season. Our reception team will be happy to advise you personally.

Are there any opportunities for children in the region?

Children will have a brilliant time in Durbach and the surrounding area. The outdoor swimming pool, the 12-hole adventure golf course, the Pit-Pat course and several playgrounds provide plenty of fun and exercise from May to mid-September. The Black Forest National Park, with its adventure trails, and Europapark Rust, with over 100 attractions, are unforgettable destinations for the whole family. As a hotel guest, you can enjoy many of these attractions free of charge or at a discount with the KONUS guest card.

Can the hotel organise activities or excursions for us?

We’d be delighted to help – our reception team are your personal on-site concierges. Whether it’s a classic car tour through the vineyards, a wine tasting, a picnic experience, yoga, personal coaching or excursions in the region, we’ll take care of the planning and ensure you have unforgettable moments of happiness.
