Häusern

Visit Häusern for a half‑day hike or spa stop; fit it into a Black Forest day trip, no overnight needed.

Häusern is a high‑altitude health resort in the Black Forest, offering a Michelin‑star restaurant, a heated forest pool and easy access to Schluchsee and St. Blasien. It works best as a short stop within a larger Black Forest itinerary.
