Distilling day
Our distillery is in full swing! On these days, different fruits are turned into fine brandies. We warmly invite you to look over our distiller's shoulder as they work.
Activities
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.

The gateway to the Black Forest
Sometimes relaxation begins with exercise and the good feeling of having done something for yourself.
Indoor
Activity with calm and balance
In the fitness pavilion and in yoga and Body & Mind sessions, everyone finds their own way of doing body and mind some good. Strength and endurance have their place here, and so do concentration and a mindful pause. Changing programmes and retreats add fresh impetus to active days at Engel Obertal.

The Black Forest is waiting on your doorstep

Black Forest
Outdoors, the view opens up
With its tall firs, clear air and peaceful paths, the Black Forest shows its unspoilt side. Head out and you find not only new destinations but also a little distance from daily life. A landscape that invigorates, grounds you and keeps inviting you to walk just a little further.
