Bonndorf im Schwarzwald (short form: Bonndorf), a 7,000 inhabitant town in the Black Forest in the very southwest of Germany, is in the district of Waldshut in the land of Baden-Württemberg.
Mentioned for the first time
Nestled at the edge of the High Black Forest, Bonndorf offers practical access to the region’s network of hiking trails and scenic routes. Its train station links the town to Freiburg and the Rhine Valley, making day‑trips to the Feldberg peaks or the historic town of Schiltach effortless. Cyclists appreciate the quiet side streets that connect to the well‑marked Schwarzwald‑Panorama‑Route, while families can park near the Bodensee‑Strecke and hop on a local bus to the nearby nature reserve. The town’s modest size means you can reach the trailheads within ten minutes, saving precious daylight for the forest’s panoramic lookouts.
Bonndorf’s market square keeps a modest weekly farmers’ market where regional producers showcase sour cherry jam, smoked ham and the distinctive Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in its original form—without the tourist‑friendly frosting overload. In the evenings, the town’s historic Kurhaus hosts low‑key concerts that feature local brass bands playing traditional Swabian tunes. For a quiet cultural dip, the Stadtmuseum offers rotating exhibits on Black Forest craftsmanship, from cuckoo‑clock mechanics to timber‑frame construction, providing context that enriches a stroll through the half‑timbered streets.
The shoulder seasons—late May to early June and September to early October—balance pleasant temperatures with lighter visitor numbers, allowing you to enjoy the forest’s shade without the summer crowds that swell the nearby spa towns. Autumn brings a subtle amber hue to the larch canopy, ideal for photography, while the early winter frost layers the surrounding fields in a delicate white veil, perfect for a short stay before heading to the more bustling ski resorts further up the Feldberg.
