Your Accommodation: "Philosophenstüble" Apartment
This 200-year-old Black Forest farmhouse, with its wooden shingles and deep-pitched hipped roof, exudes a cozy atmosphere. Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind: Now it’s time for the Alps.
The 75-square-meter apartment spans two floors on the first floor and the attic of the former hayloft.
The hayloft was an essential part of every Black Forest farmhouse. A dormer in the deep-pitched hipped roof led up to the hayloft, which ensured a supply of feed for the livestock during the winter.
The hayloft dormer is accessible via the garden—a staircase with a hallway leads to a separate entrance for the “Philosophenstüble” and “Heuboden” apartments. A bench and coat rack in the spacious hallway provide ample storage space for jackets and shoes.
The “Philosophenstüble” apartment has two separate entrances, each leading to a double bedroom. A staircase leads down from the bedrooms to the first floor. Here you’ll find two new bathrooms with showers, as well as a spacious kitchen-living room with a cozy solid-wood seating area for social evenings. In the adjoining living room, a cozy sofa alcove offers space for one additional person. The “Heuboden” can accommodate up to 5 guests.
The furnishings consist of solid wood, antiques, and high-quality fabrics and pillows in an Alpine style. (Renovated in September 2024)
In the summer, the garden offers plenty of sunshine, play areas for children, and a view of the Swiss Alps. Inside the house, guests can unwind in the communal sauna (opening in January 2025) or relax in the cozy living room. The large corner bench provides space for cozy evenings with snacks and board games.
The house also features another vacation apartment for 6 people (Heuboden) and a vacation apartment for 10 people (Hüsli).A shared ski storage room and a laundry room with a washer and dryer are available.

Description
Your Destination: Todtnauberg
The BERGHOF ALMZEIT nestles like a cozy nest among the sun-drenched hillsfrom Ratschert to Stübenwasen. Located at the end of the Todtnauberg high valley in the Rütte district at 1,050 m—you won’t hear any cars or motorcycles here.
Above the BERGHOF ALMZEIT winds the panoramic hiking trail named after Martin Heidegger, who wrote his most important works in the tranquility of his mountain cabin not far from our farm.
A large network of hiking trails around Todtnauberg and all the way to Feldberg begins right outside our front door. There are also stroller-friendly and child-friendly hiking trails to explore.
The ski lift is 100 meters from the house. There’s also a ski school in town. The Feldberg ski area, with 68 kilometers of slopes at an elevation of 1,277 meters, is also within easy reach (20 km).
Todtnauberg is located in the heart of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park. This makes it an ideal starting point for hikes, walks, biking, alpine skiing, and cross-country skiing in a charming mountain landscape.
Right in Todtnauberg, you’ll find the beautiful waterfall with the breathtaking Blackforest-Line suspension bridge (blackforestline.de). It’s also not far (4 km) to Germany’s most spectacular summer toboggan run and the downhill bike trail in Todtnau. The Steinwasen Wildlife Park (8 km), Schluchsee and Titisee (22 km), and the Münstertal wine region (18 km) are also within easy reach. Freiburg’s Old Town is a 40-minute drive away, and Switzerland—with the Rhine Falls and Basel—is just under an hour’s drive away.
Todtnauberg offers numerous attractions for families with children of all ages, including an idyllic outdoor swimming pool, a waterfall, children’s hiking trails, and, last but not least, ski schools.
Bicycle and e-bike riders can comfortably cycle through the entire Southern Black Forest Nature Park on bike tours of varying difficulty levels.
