The most beautiful traditional-style hotel in the Black Forest National Park
Family – that's where everything starts.
Family means love, respect, affection and trust.
And it can also mean tension and arguments.
Family leads to courage, new ventures and the future.
Yes, the Forsthaus Auerhahn is a family business.
For more than 50 years, now including members of the fourth generation.
Our guests sense this – and enjoy being a part of our family for a while.
Host
A member of the third
generation of the family.
A strong family, a strong team.
We are a strong family – the Zepfs stick together. Yet we as a family can't run this wonderfully traditional family hotel all on our own. We also need a strong team to work with us as if they were part of the family too. We work together – in an atmosphere of complete trust and respect – and put all our energy, heart and soul into providing our guests with some of the most enjoyable days of the year. Holidays in the Forsthaus Auerhahn mean family holidays – created for you by the Zepf family and the entire Auerhahn team.
Impressions
History
A guest house since 1821
In the 18th and 19th century, the logging industry was thriving in our region.
There were a lot of lumberjacks here, working for the logging company "Calwer Holzkompagnie",
and they needed somewhere to stay as they had come from other regions of the country.
In the year 1821, the forest warden Alt-Mathäus Züfle
built the Forsthaus Auerhahn, with stables in the basement and a bar and restaurant on the ground floor.
Philosophy
It's the little details
that we like.
Geraniums on the balconies. Antlers on the wall that tell stories of successful forest management.
Logs stacked up next to the house and the forest all around us. Beautiful bathrooms and useful tips on the hand soap.
Old traditions and new ones too, where it makes sense.
Anyone who has lived in one of the most beautiful places on earth for such a long time and who has the forest in their DNA, will make efforts to consciously work with and for nature.
After all, nature forms the basis for our lives. And living in a sustainable way ensures that it will stay that way.
Prime location
Where the valley comes to an end
and your holiday starts.
Our guests are always amazed to hear that this is not just an advertising slogan, even though it sounds like one:
Just behind our parking area, the road does indeed come to an end. From this point onwards, your only option is to walk or take your bike.
Listen to the babbling of the Hinterlangenbach brook, smell the scent of the forest. You’re going to love this holiday!
