Legends, Customs and Traditions World-famous symbols for a picture-perfect holiday in one of Germany’s most beautiful holiday destinations.
Cuckoo Clock Black Forest Gâteau The world-famous Black Forest gâteau may be Germany’s most popular layered cream cake but there is no doubt that it tastes the best in the Black Forest. It is made of cream, a biscuit base, cherries, chocolate shavings and the famous Black Forest Kirschwasser brandy.
The Bollenhut Hat The Bollenhut hat has become a trademark of the Black Forest. The straw hat, which comprises 14 woollen pom-poms that are red for unmarried women and black for married women, can weigh as much as two kilograms and is still made laboriously by hand by a milliner.
Cuckoo clocks, which are renowned the world over, have been manufactured in the Black Forest since as early as the 18th century. During the long winter months, they were carved from wood by hand on farmyards across the Black Forest in a process demanding skilful craftsmanship and imagination, before being sold by or exchanged with worldfamous clock dealers throughout Europe, Russia and even as far afield as the USA. The famous cuckoo call is created by two bellows which pump air through a small whistle.
The Traditional Black Forest Costume Titisee – the Sunken Town It is thought that an abbey and town lay further down the Lake Titisee, along the street known as “Seesteige”, hundreds of years ago. The town was very wealthy and its inhabitants valued luxury and lavishness with such arrogance that they would carve the middle out of bread rolls, use the crust as shoes and feed the rest to the animals. God’s punishment for the town’s wicked ways was looming; the heavens opened and a great flood inundated the town, wiping out everyone. The noble town with its towers and gates sank beneath the fathomless lake. In good weather, you can see the spire of the abbey below the surface, and on a calm, sunny day, you can hear the bell chimes from the sunken town. “Titinire” – ringing bells which the oldest name “Titiunsee” may well relate to. The abbey shall rise again out of the waters of Lake Titisee when the Friedenweiler Abbey sinks into the underwater realm. _ 20
Black Forest ham Black Forest ham is Europe’s most popular and best-selling smoked raw ham. It is prepared in the Black Forest using traditional methods and smoked over a fir-wood fire, giving it its characteristic strong, spicy flavour.
Until a short while ago, the beautiful Black Forest costume was worn on a daily basis but today, it is only traditionally worn for going to church or during processions. From the very beginning, the Black Forest costumes were highly varied, with each community having its own uniquely designed dress.

Culinary Highlights Highly delicious – You will find delicacies and hospitality all throughout the Black Forest Highlands. Museum of Schnapps Visit the Schnapshäusle museum with its distillery and try the fine liquors from fruits, berries, honey, or the typical Jerusalem artichoke.
Restaurants In the Black Forest Highlands, highly ambitious fine restaurants, rustic public houses, chalets, or cafés attract visitors with local fresh cuisine, traditional snacks, or French-style gourmet cuisine.

Good to know Renewable Energy Sustainable energy production has a long tradition in the Black Forest. For centuries water power has been used in mills, saw works and hammer smiths. Chopped wood was the main heating source in every farmhouse and provided the power for craft production such as glassblowing. By re-initiating the centuries-old tradition of selfsufficiency in the Black Forest into present day we will produce all our energy needed at the Hofgut Sternen from local and renewable energy. Thus your requirement of comfort and well-being meets with sustainable tourism today in the Black Forest. Things to do & discover (coming 2016/2017) Presentation and guidance of the 250 years history of regenerative power generation in the Black Forest “How does it work?” … Hydropower, heat pumps, wood chip power plant – Energy production open to the public
Good to know History
© Garry Slater
Since medieval times this area around the Hofgut Sternen became an important stop for changing horses before the carriages started up the road, carrying people and goods up the “Alte Steige” (old ascent). The start of this trail was at the Hofgut Sternen. Even Marie Antoinette passed by on her way from Vienna to Paris in 1770 to her wedding with the French King Louis XVI. Other famous guests were Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Napoleon the 3rd.
Things to do & discover Guided historical tour: Discover 700 years of history from medieval hors-changing station (13th century) to the Hofgut Sternen – The Black Forest Village. Visit St. Oswald’s Chapel from 1148 – the oldest church in the Black Forest – and also learn more about the impressive Ravenna Viaduct.
Go on a guided tour to a historic ropewalk and experience a century-old craft at first hand. You will be shown how to turn your own rope and can take it home with you. Tours available in German and English – price on request.

Good to know Tradition The cuckoo clock from the Black Forest is a world-wide known work of art. Due to the fact that agriculture was limited in the Black Forest because of the long winters, a cottage industry of clock-making grew from the middle of the 17th century. Glassblowing was another upcoming craft and both became a profitable source of income for the Black Forest people.
Things to do & discover Watch how a cuckoo clock is made in an interesting demonstration (language German and English, price on request) Visit the GlasManufaktur where our glass artists create fascinating glass objects and jewelry for our brand STERNEN GLAS in front of your eyes

Mystical landscapes combined with an exquisite cuisine, excellent hotels and extraordinary locations make the Black Forest Highlands a unique place for a successful event and offer the perfect setting for your meeting. The diverse range of leisure activities makes the regions particularly attractive for
events of any kind and enable you entirely new perspectives for major decisions. How about a teambuilding workshop in one of our typical Black Forest farms and a snowshoe hike with a rustic fondue at a mountain inn in the evening? It’s a great way to bring people together! Or how about
a strategy workshop in the personal and trusting atmosphere of a smaller seminar hotel which will open for you exclusively? The theme of the evening is “cooking together with fine wines” – it’s a great way to encourage creativity!
