Titisee-Neustadt Travel Guide
A detailed destination guide for your next Germany vacation
Titisee-Neustadt Overview
The community of Titisee lies on the north shore of Titisee, a lake in the eastern Feldberg (Feldberg vacation rentals | Feldberg travel guide) in the Black Forest, which ranges from 780 to 1 192 m above sea level. The community of Neustadt is found 5 km to the east. The town lies on a small river called the Seebach (Lake Brook) as it comes in from Feldberg-Bärental to feed Titisee, as the Gutach (Good Water) as it flows out of the lake, and east of Neustadt, where it merges with the Haslach to become a whitewater torrent, as the Wutach (Furious Water). After flowing out of the town, it passes through the well known Wutachschlucht (Wutach Gorge), and ends by emptying into the Rhine. Titisee-Neustadt's highest point is the Hochfirst, a peak overlooking the lake on the municipal boundary with Lenzkirch (Lenzkirch vacation rentals | Lenzkirch travel guide) and marked by the Hochfirst Tower. It is 1,192 m high.

In Titisee I would really recommend taking the boat ride out on the sea, it is really great and not expensive. Great restaurants, great walking, a really beautiful area. We were there in May for a visit and it is always beautiful and calm!

More about the History of Titisee-Neustadt
Titisee-Neustadt is divided into seven communities which historically have been separate, although they are now amalgamated into one municipality.
Neustadt
Neustadt was founded in 1250 by the Princes of Fürstenberg. There followed various name changes: the town was called Nova Civitas in 1275 (which has the same meaning in Latin –New City– as the German name Neustadt), in 1294 Neuwenstadt, in 1335 Neuwen-statt, in 1630 Neostadium and in 1650 New-Statt before it later became Neustadt. From 1669 to 1806 there was a Capuchin monastery in Neustadt. In 1817, a great deal of the town was destroyed in a great fire. In the 18th century, the clockmaking trade developed in the town to become a major part of the economy. Titisee-Neustadt came into being in 1971 with the amalgamation of the until then independent district capital of Neustadt with the communities of Titisee and Rudenberg. In 1973 and 1974, the communities of Langenordnach, Schwärzenbach und Waldau were added to the amalgamation.
