A hotel high on the Schauinsland
Die Halde stands at 1,147 m, on the pass below the summit of the Schauinsland, Freiburg's mountain, with a wooden-shingle façade you can see from afar. It has received summer visitors since about 1880 and today it is run by Lucia and Martin Hegar. It has no official stars because it does not want them: it says so on its website. It is a hotel for staying up high: walking, swimming, eating well and looking at the Feldberg, which is right opposite.
The rooms and what is included
It has 39 rooms and apartments, decorated with local woods and light colours. The Haldenköpfle doubles, of 25 to 27 m², look onto the courtyard and cost from €382 a night; the Feldberg doubles, with the view of the Feldberg, from €408. There are one-room apartments of 35 to 45 m², some with a balcony, from €408 to €530, and two family apartments, the Heustöckle, of 76 m² with two bedrooms, and the Kuckucksnest, of 120 m² under the roof, which the lift does not reach.
The price seems high until you see what it includes: breakfast from 8:00 to 11:45; at midday, soup, salads and pastries from 13:00 to 16:00; in the evening, a four-course dinner from 17:30 to 19:30; the BergSpa, and the KONUS card, with free bus and train across the Black Forest. If you eat out one evening, they deduct €25.
The BergSpa covers 1,100 m² over two floors: saunas, a herbal steam bath, a panoramic indoor pool and a natural pond for outdoor swimming, with a view of the Feldberg. There is a daily activity programme and they lend you poles and snowshoes.
Eating at Die Halde without staying
The restaurant is a Naturparkwirt of the Southern Black Forest: local produce, game from the nearby hunting grounds and water from its own spring. Outside guests can have lunch from 12:30 to 14:30 and dinner from 17:30 to 19:30, always with a reservation, because the tables are few. On the November 2026 menu, the Baden Rostbraten costs €38 and the roe-deer ragout, €36. For afternoon coffee and cake you do not book.
Getting there and parking
By car, drive up from Kirchzarten and Oberried via Hofsgrund to the pass. There is a garage (€5 a day from April to October, €10 in winter) with two 22 kW chargers. Without a car, train from Freiburg to Kirchzarten and bus 140 to the Schauinsland Halde stop, at the door. From the top station of the Schauinslandbahn it is 2 km on foot.
