Hotel Schöne Aussicht

We stayed here for three nights in June. This family run Hotel really is a haven of peace and tranquility. Our room was large with a balcony overlooking the central terrace between the two building that make up the Hotel. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom excellent. There is a passage between the two buildings under the terrace. This is important because one building houses all of (or most of) the guest rooms. The other building has the large dining area and, downstairs, the sauna, fitness room and swimming pool. We had a swim each afternoon before dinner. They provided us with dressing gowns and towels in our room for swimming. The breakfast is very good, comprising of an extensive selection of foods. We had booked on the Sommersause package that included a four course evening meal. This consisted of a soup, followed by a salad, main course (selection of three meat dishes or two vegetarian) and a pudding. The soup and puddings were fine but nothing particularly special. We found the main courses to variable eg the curry sauce with wildcurrywurst was somewhat crude and the vegetable quiche was boring, but the more traditional German dishes were very good. You can also eat al a carte and there was a good selection on this menu. We also enjoyed a torte on the terrace one afternoon. We thought the price we paid per night for all of this was very good value indeed. We'd certainly recommend eating dinner at the hotel, it's a bit of drive to the local towns for other choices. The location of the Hotel is in the forest a few km from Hornberg. The road leading to it is very quiet and a good standard. In the local area Hornberg and Triberg and its watferfall are interesting but not particularly special. We also drove 40 minutes to Schiltach which is a beautiful old town - well worth a visit. On our second day we walked in the woods. There are many trails, but not many view points. Be careful not to get lost (or take your white pebbles with you to lay a trail)!
