Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Titisee was formed during the last ice age. Just 10,000 years ago, a glacier extended from the Feldberg to the present-day lake. The basins gouged out by the glacier and the terminal moraine now form the basin of Lake Titisee. The lake is 850 m above sea level, 2 km long, just under 1 km wide and approx. 40 m deep.

Lake Titisee is perfect for swimming, sailing, windsurfing, pedalling and for a stroll along the water front but you can swim only if temperature is perfect.

For this beautiful experience we will pick you up from your hotel in Zurich or surroundings and take you to Lake Titisee in Black Forest area in Germany. We will spend 4 hours in Lake Titisee area where your private vehicle will be parked in the parking and you will enjoy 3 hours of free time for walking in this amazing small town with beautiful lake and shops.
