Information in brief

Description

The Titisee was formed during the last ice age. Just 10,000 years ago, a glacier extended from the Feldberg to the present-day lake. The basins gouged out by the glacier and the terminal moraine now form the basin of Lake Titisee. The lake is 850 m above sea level, 2 km long, just under 1 km wide and approx. 40 m deep.

The Titisee is one of the most popular destinations in the Black Forest and is ideal for swimming, sailing, windsurfing, pedal boating and strolling along the promenade.
