Titisee-Neustadt: between the lake and mill history

In Titisee-Neustadt, experiences on the water go hand in hand with discoveries about local history. At Lake Titisee, you can walk along the shore or take a boat trip around the lake. The lakeside loop trail is another option for a clearly defined hike, so you can plan your day around the kind of lakeside experience you prefer.

At Lake Titisee: Shoreline, Loop Trail or Boat Trip

The lakeside loop trail is an easy circular route, 5.85 km long, with 31 m of ascent and 31 m of descent. It starts at the Kurhaus in Titisee. Its distance, elevation gain and difficulty rating give the route a clear profile; it is advisable to check current trail information before setting out, as maintenance work may affect the route.

The activities on the lake offer different perspectives: hiking takes you along the shore, while a boat trip lets you experience the lake from the water. If you prefer to plan a circular route, the lakeside loop trail offers a measured distance and a named starting point. These differences can help you plan your day around your interests, without making one hike or boat trip a prerequisite for the other.

Local History and Historic Technology

The historic Öhler Mill is situated in an idyllic side valley of Titisee-Neustadt. Built in 1772, it illustrates how grain was once milled and oil pressed. The building’s history is thus connected with two different processing steps: grinding grain and pressing oil.

The local history rooms in Titisee-Neustadt offer another perspective on the area’s heritage. Their collection spans ten rooms; the local history rooms are currently closed. The two sites therefore cover different subjects: the mill illustrates historic working methods, while the local history rooms house a collection relating to local history.
