Camping in the Southern Black Forest
Traumhaft übernachten unter Sternen
Germany-79736 Rickenbach
The campsite is nestled in our traditional orchard, while the motorhome pitch is located right by our 250-year-old, idyllic farmhouse on the outskirts of Hottingen. It is so peaceful here that the only sounds you’ll hear are the rustling of the forest and the call of the tawny owl. Under the sparkling starlight, you might even spot a shooting star—who knows if your wish will come true? You can enjoy the tranquility and nature in blissful solitude or join fellow travelers and the Giegelhof family for a chat around the campfire. In the morning, Gonzo the rooster will wake you up so that—with a bit of luck—you won't miss the breathtaking Alpine sunrise. Fresh eggs from happy hens taste even better in our summer kitchen or out on the flowering meadow, alive with the hum of nature. If the fruit is ripe, feel free to have a taste! Our farm became known through the documentary 'Schöner Mist! Der Traum vom eigenen Bauernhof' (available on YouTube). Our rescue dogs, Frida and Karlo, love treats, and Pitú, our senior cat, is always happy to welcome friendly visitors with a stroke. We look forward to sharing this little ecological paradise with nature lovers! Please note the ground isn't perfectly level, but it’s never been an issue for our guests. Since we enjoy the luxury of true darkness here, a flashlight or headlamp is highly recommended. We would appreciate it if you could let us know your approximate arrival time!

What makes this place special
Elvira about the place
- It's so charmingly rustic here that many people think we live in a museum. No glossy perfection!

Bevor ich auf meinen wunderbaren Hof im Hotzenwald zog, reiste ich sehr viel. Alleine, mit Partner, Freunden- mit dem Rucksack und Zelt oder auch mal mit dem Koffer ins Hotel. Als ich fast vier Jahre lang in Mexiko lebte, unternahm ich tolle Reisen in die Sierra, ans Meer, in die Berge. Da mir die Kälte irgendwann fehlte, flog ich nach Alaska - auch, um Bären in der freien Wildbahn zu sehen. Unter meinen Reisezielen waren auch Armenien (wunderschönes Land und sehr freundliche Menschen), Irland, Guatemala, Südafrika, die Türkei. Habe viel gesehen, durfte viel erleben und kümmere mich jetzt um unser kleines Paradies.

Heading towards Dachsberg, you'll pass the famous Fiat Lux Order (Uriella) before driving through idyllic, small villages until you can cool off in the Klosterweiher lake. The Todtnau Waterfalls with their new suspension bridge are also not far. If you want to see how the 'Hotzen' (local people) lived in earlier times, you can visit the local museums.

The snow follows its own rules... Sometimes we see just a few flakes, and other times it’s waist-deep. Excellent ski resorts are nearby, such as Todtnauberg, and snowshoeing through our beautiful forests is always a delight. In Herrischried, you'll find an ice rink and cross-country skiing trails, along with plenty of spots for sledding scattered all around.
