Wellness and relaxation in the Black Forest

Hiking holidays at Ludinmühle Hotel & Spa in Freiamt

With every step you get closer to nature and relax a little more. Hiking and nordic walking in Freiamt, you will discover the full beauty of the Black Forest. After getting out into nature, relax in the 4 star Superior Ludinmühle Hotel & Spa and absorb the events of the day.

Freiamt in the Black Forest

an all year hiking paradise

140 km of signposted hiking and walking trails around Freiamt alone take you past traditional mountain farmhouses, lush meadows, clear streams and fantastic viewpoints. There are short circular routes right next to the Ludinmühle – even these gentle trails will provide you with stunning views. More extended routes and panoramic hikes offer an abundance of wonderful hiking at all times of year.

Experience nature reawakening in spring, meadow flowers burgeoning in summer and the trees’ colourful clothing in autumn. In winter the landscape is covered in a soft white – even at this time, Freiamt is extraordinarily lovely for hiking.

Ludinmühle Hiking & Spa Hotel hiking service

As our guest you enjoy spa facilities and hiking in the Black Forest with extra benefits:

  • Hiking maps and Nordic walking sticks (available from Reception)
  • Hiking rucksacks (ready for use in your room)
  • Hiking transfer service
    6 days a week, we take you to different starting points in Freiamt and the surrounding area – allowing you to try out different routes on your hikes through the Black Forest.
  • We’ll surprise you on our guided walks with a picnic or a quaint rustic place to stop for refreshments.

Nordic Walking

Nordic walking is a popular sport, combining as it does gentle exercise and the outdoors. As well as walking and hiking routes, Freiamt has several signposted Nordic walking routes. Our reception team will be happy to help and offer advice on route planning.
