Hi, my husband and I are planning to be in Freiburg at the end of August for 3 full days. We won't have a car and will likely take a train to see some part of the Black Forest in more depth one of the days (I'm thinking Lake Titisee). What I'm really not sure about is seeing the forest on foot. We'll likely be staying near the central train station or center of town. I can tell from the map that we will be walking distance to the forest, but how much is there to see of the forest directly...
MoreSchauinsland is well worth the trip. It's relatively easy to get to via public transport - you can take the tram to the end of one of the lines, then pick up a bus that takes you to the base of the cable car. Once at the top, you can hike down, I believe, if you feel like it. We hiked a bit at the top (my daughter was in Freiburg for an exchange year, but had messed up her knee so we couldn't hike as much as we wanted). There's also a viewing tower near the end of the cable car.
