Off to the cool water
Swimming lakes in the Black Forest
If you’re looking to cool off in summer, you’ll find it in the Black Forest: alongside tranquil ponds, rushing mountain streams, and thundering waterfalls, there are plenty of swimming lakes, such as Titisee, Schluchsee, and Windgfällweiher. Whether you plan a relaxing day by the lake or want to cool off after a strenuous hike or a long cycling tour, be sure to pack your swim shorts, bikini, or swimsuit in your rucksack!

Relaxation or water fun
Experience swimming pools + indoor pools
Swimming fun all year round – water lovers can truly enjoy themselves in the indoor pools of the Black Forest. At the bathing paradise in Titisee-Neustadt, the Black Forest meets the South Sea: a dreamy relaxation paradise awaits you, featuring a palm oasis, the GALAXY slide universe, and the Palais Vital spa and sauna world. After swimming, the diverse gastronomy in the Black Forest takes care of your culinary needs.
For days without sunshine
Indoor pools in the Black Forest
It’s raining outside, but indoors, you’ll only get wet from below. That’s why we recommend the indoor pools in the Black Forest towns. As with the outdoor pools, the same applies here: those with a Black Forest Card can swim for free in some indoor pools.
