Mummelsee & Black Forest High Road
Mummelsee
A glacial cirque lake at 1,036 metres beside the Black Forest High Road, said to be home to water sprites, and the most popular stop for drivers in the Black Forest.
The Black Forest High Road (B500) runs south from Baden-Baden to Freudenstadt, with wide views from the ridges along the way. Mummelsee sits at the foot of Hornisgrinde peak. A walking path around the lake takes about 15 minutes, and you can rent pedal boats. By the shore are a hotel, restaurants and souvenir shops, famous for cuckoo clocks. The drive takes about 40 minutes and gets crowded on summer weekends. By public transport, take a bus to Achern and change there.
Opening hours
Open all day; boat rentals approx. May–Oct
