Status of compatibility with the requirements

Description of the service

National and international marketing of the Black Forest Highlands holiday region and booking of experiences and accommodation.

Non-accessible content

The following content is not accessible because it is not compatible with the underlying harmonized standard EN 301 549:

  • There are SVG images without labelling on a page. Navigation with screen readers to the SVG images is difficult.
  • On several pages there are images without captions. It is difficult to navigate to the images with screen readers.
  • There are links without link text on all pages.
  • On several pages, the contrast between text and background is too low.
  • There is a page without a title.
  • On single pages there are 'iframe' elements without labelling. Navigation with screen readers to the iframes is difficult.
  • There are form fields without a label on single pages. It is difficult to navigate to the form fields with screen readers.
  • On several pages there are buttons without labelling. It is difficult to navigate to the buttons with screen readers.
  • On several pages there are headings that have no caption or contain the aria-hidden attribute and are therefore not accessible to screen readers.
  • On single pages, the meta viewport prevents zooming. Deactivating the zoom makes page content more difficult to read for people with visual impairments.
  • There are invalid aria attribute values on single pages. These are not recognized by screen readers and are therefore not output correctly.
  • On single pages, a parent element lacks the appropriate child elements. This can confuse screen reader users because content is expected but none is there.
  • On almost all pages there are elements with the Aria-hidden attribute that can be focused at the same time. This makes these elements accessible to assistive technologies, even though they should be hidden.
  • On several pages, links are indistinguishable from the surrounding text.
  • On several pages, description lists are structured incorrectly. As a result, description explanations and description headings are not displayed correctly and are not output correctly by assistive technologies.
  • On single pages there are elements whose Aria ID occurs several times. This makes it difficult to navigate the website with screen readers.
  • There are lists on a page that contain elements that do not belong in lists. As a result, the lists may not be output correctly by assistive technologies.
