Sometimes something old becomes something new with a lot of creativity. In the town of Gengenbach-Reichenbach in the Black Forest, guests at the Brennkuech Hideaway are greeted by the scent of wood, perhaps even a subtle aroma of spirits as Schnapps had been distilled there for decades. The Boschert family have turned a dilapidated farmhouse into a designer holiday home. Lovingly restored, equipped with their own woods, the house now offers stylish quarters complete with a wood-burning stove and a mountain panorama with magnificent views.

The Black Forest is a magnificent place to visit with rolling hills interspersed with deep forests. Plenty of well-sign posted trails make hiking and biking a pleasure through the countryside. Small towns with cafes and historic homes and churches offer a step back into time.

The Gessler family offers pure country life on their organic farm in Markdorf on Lake Constance. The ecologically built "Tiny Houses" border directly on the chicken coop and orchard.
