Discover Hüfingen: Roman Baths, Old Town and Leisure
Accommodation in Hüfingen
Hüfingen brings together Roman bathing culture, a listed old town and leisure activities by bike or on the water. You can choose where to stay based on your interests and explore the relevant excursion and cultural topics in more detail.
Roman bathing culture and the old town
The thermal baths in Hüfingen are an extraordinary testament to Roman bathing culture and one of the oldest Roman military-bath complexes of their kind north of the Alps. At the Roman Bath Ruins, cantilevered metal walkways over the walls offer a view of the remains of the baths. Information boards and display cases containing archaeological finds provide further insight into the bathing culture of the ancient Romans. Check current access arrangements before your visit.
Another focal point is the listed old town, which has been lovingly restored. The Breg River flows through Hüfingen. This means visitors can experience different aspects of the town: the remains of a Roman bath and a historic townscape. Those interested in history can consider these as separate places to visit when planning their trip.
Cycling, Riedsee Lake and Ceramic Weeks
From Hüfingen, cyclists can explore the entire Baar region via well-signposted cycling networks. This offers a different travel focus from visiting the Roman baths: here, the aim is to discover the region by bicycle. If cycling is your priority, you can choose specific routes to suit your plans.
Visitors can windsurf and kitesurf on Riedsee Lake. This adds a waterside leisure activity that is distinct from exploring the town’s history or cycling. Check current local operating conditions before taking part.
The 2026 programme for the International Ceramic Weeks is set to feature ceramic artists from numerous countries presenting their work at the historic Sennhofplatz. If you are travelling for the event, check the specific dates against your travel period.
The Schwarzwald-Baar district as a regional perspective
The wider destination of the Schwarzwald-Baar district offers other nature and culture topics that can be considered separately as part of a regional perspective. In the Schwarzwald-Baar district, a 2.5-kilometre circular trail runs around oval-shaped Kirnbergsee Lake and over the dam. The lake is in Bräunlingen-Unterbränd, lies within a Flora-Fauna Habitat area, and rare plants grow near its shores.
The WasserWeltenSteig in the Schwarzwald-Baar district offers a different scale: this cross-border premium hiking trail is 109 kilometres long. On the German side, it runs entirely through the district, from Germany’s highest waterfalls in Triberg to the Rhine Falls near Neuhausen. The regional area thus offers both a 2.5-kilometre circular trail and a much longer route with two named endpoints.
The Fasnacht carnival in the Schwarzwald-Baar district also has a clearly defined duration: it lasts six days, from Schmotziger Dunnschtig to Ash Wednesday. In December 2014, the Swabian-Alemannic Fasnet carnival in the Schwarzwald-Baar district was added to Germany’s nationwide UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage register. These details provide a regional cultural perspective, separate from Hüfingen’s attractions.
