Schluchsee, Climatic health resort in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Germany.
The Schluchsee municipality sits at an elevation of 952 meters, surrounding the largest lake in the Black Forest that extends across a significant natural area.
The natural glacial lake underwent transformation in the 1930s through damming operations, becoming Germany's highest reservoir for hydroelectric power generation.
The municipality preserves Black Forest traditions through local crafts, including the creation of wooden timepieces and regional celebrations throughout seasonal changes.
The extensive network of marked trails spans 160 kilometers, connecting to major routes like Schwarzwald-Mittelweg and offering varied difficulty levels for hikers.
The Aqua Fun facility incorporates a 105-meter water slide and heated swimming areas that merge with the natural lake, creating an intersection of artificial and natural water spaces.
