Black Forest National Park
Alpirsbach has the great fortune of bordering Baden-Württemberg's only national park. On the approximately 10,000 hectares between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt, the forest is left to its own devices. Here you can experience the wild beauty of the Black Forest, the magic of untouched nature and islands of tranquillity. Magnificent long-distance views across the Rhine plain to France and over the ridges of the Black Forest give the park its incomparable character.
The National Park's annual programme includes hundreds of exciting lectures, seminars and guided tours, on foot, by bike, alone or accompanied by experienced rangers. If you would like to find out more, please feel free to contact the staff at the National Park Centre.
Naturpark Schwarzwald Mitte/Nord
The Black Forest is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Germany and an internationally extremely popular holiday destination. The Black Forest Nature Park Central/North was founded in order to preserve it, develop it sustainably and make it accessible to people. With an area of around 375,000 ha, it is the largest nature park in Germany. The National Park lies entirely within the territory of the Black Forest Nature Park Central/North. Both partners work closely together.

Kinzigtal
The Bollen hat is at home here! The world-famous symbol for the Black Forest originates from the villages of Gutach, Kirnbach and Reichenbach, which are located in side valleys of the broadly branching Kinzig valley. Since the 18th century, married women have worn the striking hat with red or black pollen, which became the official trademark of the entire holiday region. The river to the valley - the Kinzig - runs through the Black Forest for 65 kilometres from our neighbouring village of Lossburg to where it flows into the Rhine. And its valley has much to offer: Pretty little towns, dreamy villages, magnificent old town houses and homely Black Forest farms, eventful tours through blooming meadows, summery forests, autumnal vineyards or wintery enchanted Black Forest farms.
