Black Forest culinary estate
Double-height windows flood the modernist country lodge with natural light, opening onto lush Black Forest hills rather than gloomy folklore.

What they say
Three Michelin Keys
Michelin

the building itself, a modernist country lodge, features massive windows spanning its double-height spaces, and that the spacious rooms and suites are outfitted in soothing white and neutral tones
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Coniferous forest trails and cross-country ski tracks start right outside, winding deep into the quiet valley around Baiersbronn.
The rooms
Neutral tones and warm hardwoods define the spacious rooms, each opening to a private balcony framing the green Tonbach Valley.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated to 32°C, the outdoor pool looks onto the pines, and two indoor lap pools sit alongside a children's basin.
The spa
Across 4,500 square meters, the spa houses forest saunas, herbal hammams, and reclaimed-wood lounges designed for quiet rest.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Schwarzwaldstube
Under soaring timber gables, this three-Michelin-starred room serves modern French haute cuisine from Chef Torsten Michel across valley panoramas.
At the table
Dining extends to Asian-accented courses at Michelin-starred 1789 and regional Swabian dishes at Restaurant Schatzhauser.
How it began
Established in 1789 as a humble tavern for local charcoal makers, the estate has remained with the Finkbeiner family for eight generations.
