Waldrestaurant St. Ottilien Klaus Miess Michael Abbey

Just the job indeed. After a 5 kilometre walk through the forest from Freiburg we arrived here where a pint of Furstenberg was well received followed by weiner schnitzel and chips. I couldn't have wanted anything better. The service was good and sat outside overlooking the forest was idyllic.

We live in Freiburg and frequently either hike or ride our bikes up to St. Ottilien. It is a beautiful setting, the staff is very friendly and the food is excellent. Particularly interesting is a visit to the spring, which is in the basement under the old chapel. The entrance to the chapel is unmarked and behind a small playground. You may have to ask the staff where to find it.

This cafe is located in the middel of forest nearby Freiburg city, you can either drive there by a car or walk 30 min through the nice forest (along a quite comfortable path). I was there twice, in the spring and in the summer. It is a nice wooden house with a beautiful panorama view if you sit outside. The food is very good--e.g. rumpsteak, frammkuchen (typical for french Elsas area nearby) as well as local Baden wines. Staff is very friendly, prices very reasonable, atmosphere excellent!

We hiked from Freiburg and found this place just in time for lunch and our aching feet. It's a great location in the heart of the Black Forest. It serves authentic German food in a delightful outdoor setting. I had the Baden three sausage salad whilst my wife had a cauliflower soup. There where many other options and some good beer and wine options. You don't have to hike, just follow the locals who drive up for Sunday lunch.

Roughly 4.5km from Freiburg centre but you wouldn't guess you are so close to town. We hiked there at lunchtime and shared Flammkuchen (tarte flambée) and drank some much needed cold beers. Friendly service, lots of families with young kids. They do cake and icecream, lots of vegetarian and vegan options too with locally sourced products as well as more traditional meat dishes. Lovely views over the Black Forest. Right next to a chapel dedicated to St. Odile dating from around 1700, which is currently undergoing renovation (scaffolding). We sat outside but there are plenty of tables inside should the weather be bad very rustic interior with lots of wood.
