The southern Black Forest is a holiday paradise at any time of year: Birkendorf is particularly atmospheric during Advent and Christmas. Well-maintained winter hiking trails around the small holiday resort of Birkendorf invite you to go for a walk, while the Rothauser Land plateau can also be explored on the cross-country ski trail. Snowshoes are available for a short tour - ask at reception.
