How the Deutsche Bahn last-minute deals work
The idea is simple: at the weekend, Deutsche Bahn releases tickets for journeys in the following week at reduced prices. If you are flexible, check on Saturday or Sunday, find a good fare – and a few days later you are on your way.
This is perfect for a short Black Forest break, because hiking trails, waterfalls and cafés are pleasantly quiet during the week. Our tip: compare several travel days – prices often vary noticeably.
Arriving on the Black Forest Railway: the journey is the experience
The Black Forest Railway between Offenburg and Konstanz is one of the most scenic rail routes in Germany. Between Hornberg and St. Georgen it winds uphill through numerous tunnels and curves – with Triberg right in the middle.
From Triberg station you reach the town centre by bus or on foot. From the moment you arrive, your KONUS guest card – included with the visitor's tax – is valid.
Car-free on site: free travel with the KONUS guest card
You will not need a car in Triberg. With the KONUS guest card you use buses and regional trains throughout the Black Forest for free – turning one cheap train ticket into many more trips at no extra cost:
- Triberg Waterfalls – within walking distance, free entry with the guest card.
- Villingen and its medieval old town.
- Vogtsbauernhof open-air museum in Gutach.
- Lake Titisee and the High Black Forest.
- Freiburg im Breisgau – cathedral, Bächle streams and Schlossberg hill.
Save twice: cheap ticket plus last-minute nights
Spontaneous travellers benefit twice: booking directly on our website costs less than booking platforms. Free nights shortly before arrival are also offered as last-minute stays with 20 % off the nightly rate – you can see current offers right in the booking calendar.
The Ferienwohnung Auszeit can be booked from one night and offers a 1.80 m wide double bed, a fully equipped kitchen and a balcony overlooking Triberg. Children under 6 stay free.
Tips for your spontaneous train getaway
- Check free nights in the calendar first, then book the matching train ticket.
