Parkhotel Adler stands in the middle of Hinterzarten, a high Black Forest village known for its ski-jumping hills, pastures and a calm, upmarket atmosphere. The hotel is a traditional house with a long family history, set in landscaped grounds, and has a spa and several dining rooms. It is the place to stay if your plan is Lake Titisee, the Feldberg and the Höllental rather than city sightseeing.
Hinterzarten has a railway station on the Höllentalbahn, so you can reach Titisee in a few minutes and Freiburg in under an hour without a car. The Feldberg ski area and hiking trails are a short drive away, and the village itself has walking paths, a small centre with shops and cafes and a famous ski stadium. In winter the area is snowy and peaceful; in summer, the meadows and forest paths are the draw.
Rooms range from comfortable doubles to larger suites, with traditional Black Forest touches. The spa and indoor pool are valuable on wet or cold days, and the restaurants focus on regional cooking and local wines. Breakfast is generous and often a highlight. The hotel is quiet, so it suits couples seeking a restful stay and families who want space and gardens rather than nightlife.
Good to know
A car is helpful for the Feldberg and the more remote villages, though trains and buses cover the main routes. In winter, check road conditions and winter tyre rules if you drive. Ask about half-board options, since the village is small and the hotel's dining is a strong part of the stay. Rates are mid to upper range and rise during school holidays and ski season. For a short city break, Freiburg is a better choice; for nature, this is ideal.
