RECOVERY IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

More than hundred years ago, the first visitors came to the health resort of Höchenschwand to recover. Since then, generations of far-sighted locals have endeavoured full of vigour and dedication to make the village of Höchenschwand more beautiful and attractive and to offer the guests everything they need for a relaxing and unforgettable stay.

A PARTICULARLY BENEFICIAL AND SUNNY CLIMATE

The climatic health resort of Höchenschwand is set at an altitude of 1015 metres above sea level on a huge mountain massif on the southern edge of the Black Forest overlooking the Rhine Valley. The climate, similar to that of the Swiss highlands, lying between the low mountain range climate and the Alpine climate. Thanks to the high elevation above the inversion layer, Höchenschwand is one of the sunniest places in Germany. The low atmospheric pressure has beneficial effects on the respiratory and cardiac activity and thereby enhances physical wellbeing. Given the mildly bracing climate, the village of Höchenschwand was awarded the “Climatic Health Resort” label 50 years ago. We are looking forward to welcoming you soon for a relaxing stay in the healthy climate of Höchenschwand.
