Mummelsee

Mummelsee

High up on the Schwarzwaldhochstraße lies the legendary Mummelsee – a small mountain lake that looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale. Surrounded by dark fir forests and steep slopes, a special atmosphere unfolds here that captivates visitors immediately. Especially on a convertible tour through the Black Forest, a stop at Mummelsee is an absolute highlight – a place that uniquely combines nature, myths, and driving pleasure.

Convertible tour with a view: Experience the Schwarzwaldhochstraße

The journey to Mummelsee is made via the famous Schwarzwaldhochstraße – one of the most well-known and beautiful panoramic roads in Germany. This convertible route offers wide views over the Black Forest, the Rhine Valley, and on clear days, even as far as the Vosges mountains. Curve after curve, the landscape unfolds, and the driving fun grows with every kilometer. This route is perfectly suited for a relaxed convertible tour with the top down and fresh mountain air.

Magical backdrop and legendary stories

Mummelsee itself lies at an elevation of around 1,030 meters and has a circumference of about 800 meters. The almost circular lake is surrounded by myths – it is said that the lake was once home to the water nymph Mummeline, after whom the lake is named. The dense forests and the tranquility of nature enhance the mystical atmosphere. A walk around the lake takes barely 20 minutes and offers changing perspectives on the dark water and the surrounding mountains.

Rest and enjoyment on the convertible route

Right by the lake, cozy places to stop invite you to take a break – perhaps for a slice of Black Forest cherry cake with a view of the water or a hearty snack. Mummelsee is not only a beautiful destination but also a perfect starting point for further stages along the Schwarzwaldhochstraße. Those looking for special places on their convertible journey through Baden-Württemberg will find exactly what they are looking for here.
