Your journey
Drive into the highlands
The Black Forest rises steeply from the Rhine plain — the road to Feldberg climbs through dense fir forest and the air cools noticeably before you reach the summit plateau.
Pine bath on arrival
The Black Forest pine bath is the best first treatment: the aromatic warmth, the fir extract, and the immediate sense of the landscape being applied to the body.
Sauna ritual
Finnish sauna, herbal sauna, steam bath — the multi-sauna ritual in a forest setting with outdoor terrace for cooling is the Schwarzwald wellness formula at its purest.
Feldberg summit walk
The summit plateau at 1,493 m is accessible on foot from the hotel — open meadows, Alpine views, and the physical satisfaction that makes the evening spa earn its reward.
Titisee and Schluchsee
The Black Forest lakes — Titisee (15 km) and Schluchsee (20 km) — offer swimming, paddling, and the particular lakeside quietness of the high Schwarzwald.
Freiburg day trip
Germany's sunniest city, 45 minutes below the forest — Münster Cathedral, the Bächle water channels, and the weekly market before climbing back to the spa in the evening.
About
About this getaway
Luisenhöhe Wellness Hotel is a dedicated wellness retreat in the Black Forest highlands near Feldberg, Baden-Württemberg — Germany's highest mountain outside the Alps, at 1,493 metres. The hotel occupies an elevated Black Forest position combining panoramic forest and summit views with a comprehensive wellness and spa programme built around the therapeutic tradition of the Schwarzwald.
The wellness programme at Luisenhöhe draws on the Black Forest's long-established healing traditions: the invigorating mountain air, the pine forest environment, and the thermal and mineral water heritage that has made the Black Forest one of Germany's premier wellness destinations for over a century. The spa includes indoor and outdoor pools, multiple sauna cabins (including traditional Finnish and herbal), steam rooms, and a treatment menu featuring Black Forest pine baths, hay flower wraps, and aromatherapy using local fir and pine botanical extracts.
The hotel's elevated position near Feldberg provides direct access to the Feldberg nature reserve summit walks, the Feldberg ski area (winter), and the vast Black Forest hiking network. For North American wellness travellers seeking an authentic Schwarzwald experience — the landscape that gave the German spa tradition its character — Luisenhöhe offers a fully immersive high-altitude forest wellness retreat.
The Black Forest has been a landscape of healing for hundreds of years. The therapeutic properties of the pine-saturated mountain air, the mineral springs, and the cold-water immersion traditions of the Schwarzwald were systematised into formal Kur (cure) programmes in the 19th century — a tradition that persists in the region's wellness identity to this day.
