Places to visit in the Black Forest

We support the National Park in its most important goal of ‘letting nature be nature’ by familiarising our guests with the protected area and offering them ideas for an excursion into the growing wilderness.

We also treat the resources of our environment with care and are closely connected to the region. We have been an official national park partner since 2024. Sustainability is a matter close to our hotel's heart. We want to make our guests happier in the long term and see the partnership as a great enrichment of this The Meaning Hotel concept.

The Black Forest National Park is a place for recreation and relaxation as well as an encounter with nature and with yourself.

Enjoy the silence, breathe in the fresh air and feel the peace that can only be found in unspoilt nature.

There is a place where nature can be experienced in all its beauty and wildness - the Black Forest National Park. Here, between dense forests, clear streams and majestic mountains, you can escape from everyday life and enjoy unspoilt nature in its purest form. The wild beauty of the Black Forest, the astonishing diversity of nature unfolding freely. You can experience all of this in the Black Forest National Park. Baden-Württemberg's first national park was established on 1 January 2014 on around 10,000 hectares between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt.

The Ruhestein National Park Centre is the perfect starting point for hikes and invites you to linger with its exhibition, small cinema and café. In numerous exciting guided tours and events, the staff of the national park explain what the nature reserve is all about and show the wonders of nature, big and small. You can discover it in many ways, be it on one of the many hiking trails or by bike, alone or with a group. Of course, a guided tour with a ranger is particularly exciting, providing deep insights into the wilderness. If you would like to explore the national park on your own, you will find a wide selection of different tour highlights.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Black Forest, discover rare animal and plant species, listen to the soothing murmur of the streams and be enchanted by the breathtaking beauty of the landscape.
