This is such a quiet laid back little place, the nightlife mainly revolves around food and drink. Eating at one of the many good restaurants in town, then maybe a walk down the main street, thats as good as it gets. When there is a festival on, you will find local band's playing traditional music and the nights are full of fun and festivity.
Dress Code: In the evening's "tidy " dress is all you need.

Ticket's for this region can be bought from machine's at the railway station, multi tickets are a good buy, and can be used all around the area,even as far as Freiburg, and on the tram's, also on the park "n" ride in Freiburg.
The local Staufen train goes from Bad Krozingen to Munstertal calling on all the small places in between.

This is a walker's paradise, you can buy walking guides from new agent's or the tourist office and most shop's, there are guided walks arranged through out the region, taking you up into the forest.
Try walking along the wine trail up to the Castle in Staufen, or along the railway track from the centre of Staufen that Winds down through the countryside and head's out towards Dietzelbach, This takes you into the forest and then follow the marked paths to Munstertal, stop off on the way. You will find many path's and picnic area's. Don't forget your camera and bottle of water. Bird lover's will not be disappointed either. In Mustertal there are plenty of cafes a local museum telling you all about the charcoal and mining that once went on in the area, or carry on through the village into the beautiful forest.

Favorite thing: Ask at your Hotel or Campsite for a Gaste Karte, they are free and they entitle you to a percentage off entrances to the museums and other attraction's in the area including the Spa bath's.
There is a new type of card out now, called the Konus card, it gives you free transport on buses, trams and trains, in most parts of the Black Forest. Read about it here.

Fondest memory: We traveled to Freiburg and used the trams for free.
We used the trains into Bad Krozingen, Staufen and Munstertal,with no problems.
