"The Schluchsee", region for camping

The Schluchsee is located in the southern Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg and was created by a dam to become the largest lake in the Black Forest. At an elevation of over 900 meters, it is surrounded by extensive spruce and fir forests. It forms part of a pumped-storage system, but also serves as a popular bathing and sailing lake. For outdoor enthusiasts, it offers lakeside paths, hikes into the surrounding highlands, and a cool mountain climate.
