Fresh air, wonderful nature, rustic ambience, living tradition and rustic enjoyment of local specialties bring around 30.000 holiday guests to rave about in Oberharmersbach year after year.
Nestled in the captivatingly expansive landscape of the Central Black Forest, the municipality lies in a side valley of the Kinzig River – the Harmersbach Valley. Oberhamersbach is a neighboring municipality of Zell am Harmersbach . Many day-trippers and vacationers appreciate Oberhamersbach for its proximity to Alsace and its central location in the Black Forest, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the region. Even better, the KONUS guest card allows free use of buses and trains throughout the Black Forest .
Family-run hotels, cozy guest houses, holiday apartments and accommodation on farms offer guests the ideal infrastructure to rest - depending on their preference - for long hikes, mountain bike and bicycle tours or snowshoe trips. The dense network of trails in the Brandenkopf holiday region, which extends around Oberharmersbach's local mountain of the same name (945 m above sea level), offers many opportunities for active holidaymakers.
Families with children can explore the surroundings on the approximately 2 km long Hademar the Forest Gnome nature trail . At 18 stations, Hademar the Forest Gnome explains his world to young and old nature explorers. Among other things, a tree quiz, a nature trail, Hademar's tower house, and a hammer mill powered by muscle and water invite visitors to marvel, play, and experiment. Afterwards, they can try their hand at golf in the Adventure Mini Golf Park, a course built with natural materials.
Connoisseurs can enjoy a meal in one of the many inns, restaurants, snack bars or broom bars - which can be easily integrated into hikes - or fortify themselves with a homemade piece of Black Forest cake in a cozy café.
