Old forester's lodge Kniebis | Fireplace | Ski slope at 800

Be our guest at the charming and cozy "Forsthaus" in Kniebis , the elevated part of Freudenstadt with cross-country ski trails and a downhill ski slope. The Forsthaus is a comfortable accommodation nestled in the woods. It is ideal for anyone wanting to escape the everyday hustle and bustle, enjoy peace and quiet, and love nature. The garden is fenced.

Feel good and relax in a Black Forest holiday home

For many years, the house was home to the forester from Kniebis and his family, along with the forestry office. After restructuring within the forestry administration, the house became privately owned. In 1993, our grandparents acquired this house. They were great lovers of the Black Forest. As their family grew, they were delighted to finally fulfill their dream of owning a Black Forest house. Our grandparents lived in the house until 2006. Since then, it has been the family's vacation home. Because everyone lives far away, it is rarely used. Now, others can also enjoy this beautiful old forester's lodge.

It is not only situated in a picturesque landscape, but also holds picturesque surprises. Inside the house you will find several paintings. These include works by the Swabian Expressionist Gustav Georg Schopf, the father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather of our family, as well as works by the Heilbronn artist Ergül Ertem (born 1944).

A sandbox, teepee, cricket, badminton, play shop, Playmobil, Lego, Fagus cars, rocking horse, board games and a chalkboard await you children.

The location

The small village of Kniebis is located near Freudenstadt in the heart of the Northern Black Forest.

The idyllic nature, the fresh mountain air and numerous opportunities for outdoor activities for young and old characterize the place.

The "Old Forester's Lodge" is situated almost undisturbed on the edge of the forest and offers a perfect retreat for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. At the same time, the immediate surroundings provide a large playground for children, making it ideal for young families. The beautiful, evergreen forest, meadows, streams, and lakes can be explored via numerous hiking trails. Whether on foot, by bike, or in winter on cross-country skis – the lodge offers the perfect starting point for your excursions.

In winter, the cross-country ski trails begin just a few minutes' walk from the house, and the nearest ski lift is only 800 meters away. Depending on snow conditions, various toboggan runs can be found nearby.
The Kniebis region captivates visitors with its blend of rustic Black Forest traditions and breathtaking panoramas. Whether you hike the famous long-distance trail with views into Alsace, visit the Kniebis Hut, explore the Ruhestein National Park Center, or simply enjoy the tranquility of nature – an unforgettable getaway awaits you here. The "Alte Forsthaus" (Old Forester's Lodge) promises peace and seclusion, combined with unparalleled proximity to the treasures of the Black Forest.

Cozy holiday village with views of the Black Forest – perfect for relaxed get-togethers with friends!

Rated 5 out of 5
February 12, 2026

This holiday home with several apartments was simply perfect for our group of friends! With multiple kitchens, it offered plenty of space for all the cooks to enjoy themselves and for us to spend relaxing hours together. The location in the heart of the small town was ideal: within walking distance of the Edeka supermarket, the train station, and all the shops in the town center. The stunning view of the Black Forest completed the picture.
A particular highlight was the sauna/wellness area under the roof. Here we could wonderfully unwind and leave everyday life behind. The bakery on the ground floor also offered a great atmosphere – enough space for all 24 guests if you book the entire place! Thanks to the owner's help, we were even able to get the jukebox working and end the evening with good music.
The house is also incredibly soundproofed. This meant we could comfortably gather and celebrate in the bakery without disturbing anyone. Those seeking peace and quiet could relax and sleep undisturbed in the apartments upstairs – a real plus!
In short:
We felt completely at home in this holiday home. It's the ideal place for a relaxing holiday with friends, where you can cook together, celebrate, and enjoy the peace and quiet. The excellent amenities, central location, and soundproofing make this house a real insider tip!

Wonderful stay in the Black Forest – highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time in the holiday home. The house is cozy, well-equipped, and situated in a very quiet and beautiful setting – perfect for relaxing and unwinding.
The organization and communication with the management were friendly and reliable. Everything ran smoothly. We particularly enjoyed the sauna, the natural surroundings , and the relaxed atmosphere.
One small point to note concerns the glass pane on the sauna heater, which was already damaged and became further loose during our stay. We have already reported this, as we consider it a safety issue.
Overall, however, everything was very positive, and we can wholeheartedly recommend the holiday home. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Weekend in the Black Forest

Beautiful accommodation and fantastic grounds in a stunning location. The highlight is the lovingly furnished sauna! We were there with several families and were able to keep the children entertained in the party room. It must be even nicer in the summer, with a great terrace and swimming pond. Yulyia was very friendly and easy to deal with. We'd love to come back!

Pure relaxation and a clear favorite for dog owners

Rated 5 out of 5
October 9, 2025

For a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with children and dogs, this place comes highly recommended. Walks can be started right from the front door, mushroom hunters will be in their element, and there's a small playground for children. The fenced garden and the thoughtful welcome package for dogs are a real plus, and it's well worth paying extra for your four-legged friend. For groups of five or more, the pots and pans could be a bit larger, and the sauna access is located below the house – this should be mentioned. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to stay and I highly recommend it!
