Hiking, cycling and keeping active in the heart of the Black Forest

All around Engel Obertal lies a landscape that draws you outdoors to discover something new and get moving. That might mean hiking, cycling or golf, and just as easily a workout, yoga or Body & Mind back at the hotel. Always in your own time, with plenty of room for whatever does you good.

Activity programme

Every week brings a new programme to join in with. It might be a guided hike, yoga in the morning or a session in the fitness pavilion. Come along or stay on your lounger. You decide.
