Triberg in the Rain: The Best Rainy-Day Tips in the Black Forest

• St. Georgen indoor pool: free entry with the KONUS guest card.
• Unterkirnach play barn: indoor fun for kids, free with the KONUS guest card.
• Buses and trains across the region are free with the KONUS card – stay dry wherever you go.
• Black Forest Museum and German Clock Museum: culture and cuckoo clocks up close.
• Badeparadies Schwarzwald at Lake Titisee: tropical water park with slides (entry not included).

On a grey day, the indoor pool in St. Georgen is a real insider tip: with your KONUS guest card you swim for free and warm up after a wet walk. The Black Forest Railway gets you there in minutes – also free.

For families, the play barn (Spielscheune) in Unterkirnach is perfect: climbing, running and sliding while the rain pours outside. Entry is free with the KONUS guest card here too.

The Black Forest Museum is just a few minutes' walk from the apartment. Discover traditional costumes, barrel organs, a replica mine tunnel and a model of the Black Forest Railway – fun for all ages.

A trip to the German Clock Museum in Furtwangen is also worthwhile: hundreds of clocks, from the first cuckoo clock to high-tech timekeeping. Check current opening hours and prices on the museums' websites or at the Triberg tourist office.

To fill a whole rainy day, head to the Badeparadies at Lake Titisee: palm trees, warm water, slides and a sauna area. Entry is not included in the KONUS card, but the bus and train journey is.

It sounds odd, but it's true: after rainfall the Triberg Waterfalls carry much more water and roar more impressively than on sunny days. With a rain jacket and sturdy shoes, a walk through the misty forest becomes an experience – and entry is free with the KONUS guest card.

After your outing, the apartment awaits: a fully equipped kitchen for hot tea or a Black Forest dinner, a comfortable 1.80 m wide bed, and time for a good book or a movie night. Even a rainy day becomes a real getaway.
