Apartment/Ferienhaus Schwarz­wald­strand in Bad Herrenalb / DE – Germany, Baden-Wuerttemberg

Apartment//Holiday home Schwarz­wald­strand

House Schwarz­wald­strand, on the out­skirts of Bad Her­renalb, reflects the love of the owner — a trained timber boat builder — of wood and water. The massive wooden building, con­s­tructed according to eco­lo­gical cri­teria, is located on an almost tri­an­gular plot, bor­dered on its long side by the river Alb. The 50-meter-long river bank has been carefully rede­signed and inte­grated into the design of the garden.

The house con­sists of three L‑shaped units: two are located on the ground floor while the third one is on the upper floor, pro­viding access to the river via an exterior staircase. These units are con­nected by a large ent­rance hall, which offers guests the oppor­tunity to meet up or even cele­brate. The 75 square meter apart­ments have prac­ti­cally iden­tical floor plans: one wing fea­tures two bed­rooms, the other an open space for living, eating and cooking. These rooms open out with large windows to the south-facing terrace and offer views of the river and wooded slope. The L‑shaped designs mean each terrace is scarcely over­looked by its neigh­bours, offering a maximum privacy. The apart­ments are cha­rac­te­rized by the striking con­trast of bright walls and cei­lings of white-lac­quered solid timber boards and dark floors of anthr­acite-coloured stoneware.

What to do

There are cycling and hiking trails in the immediate vicinity. The heated forest swimming pool is 100 meters away. The city can be reached on foot in 10 minutes.

Why we like this house

The L-shaped ground plan makes optimal use of the property. Each apartment benefits from the view of the river and offers as much privacy as possible. With its spacious entrance hall, the house is also suitable for joint holidays of several families.

This house is great for

Families, holidays with friends/several families, groups

Owners of Schwarz­wald­strand

Owner

We are a Dutch-German couple and have a daughter Stella. Lucie, originally a dance and yoga teacher, has more and more turned into purely a host. Sebastian, a qualified builder of wooden boats, is managing director of an engineering office, and Stella is studying social science. Everything that has proven itself in our first holiday home, the Bahnwärterhaus in the Vogtland region, we also incorporated in the Schwarzwaldstrand, this time however in a house with several apartments. It is just as we would like it to be for the gatherings of our large family: enough space for getting together, on the one hand, and for taking time out, on the other. In an individual apartment, by contrast, one is completely independent and undisturbed as an individual or small group.

Wir haben über den 1. Mai 2024 zu elft alle 3 Woh­nungen ange­mietet und eine wun­derbare Zeit am Schwarz­wald­strand ver­bracht. Die Woh­nungen sind top ein­ge­richtet und die Archi­tektur sehr anspre­chend. Auch die Wan­de­rungen rund um Bad Her­renalb waren direkt vom Schwarz­wald­strand zu erreichen . Unbe­dingt emp­feh­lenswert.

Wir hatten ein tolles Wochenende zusammen mit unseren Freunden (ins­gesamt 4 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder) ver­bracht. Das Haus ist wun­der­schön, die Küche ist perfekt ein­ge­richtet, die Betten sind bequem, die Lage ist toll. Wir haben auch eine auf­merksame und warme Betreuung erlebt (zB die Kids haben Schlitten zur Ver­fügung bekommen)
Die Kom­mu­ni­kation von Anfang schnell und infor­mativ
Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Pavel Khaykin sagt:

Wir waren mit 12 Erwach­senen + Kindern am Schwarz­wald­strand und sind begeistert von diesem schönen Feri­enhaus. Die Aus­stattung ist gut durch­dacht und es fehlt an nichts. Der Auf­ent­haltsraum und die sepa­raten Wohn­zimmer sind geräumig. Die Ein­richtung ist geschmackvoll und der Garten und Umgebung bieten wun­der­schöne Natur. Direkt hinter dem Haus geht ein Wan­derweg durch den Wald los. Die Gast­ge­berin war sehr freundlich und hilfs­bereit und die Orga­ni­sation unkom­pli­ziert. Wir würden uns freuen wie­der­zu­kommen!

Florian B. sagt:

Der Schwarz­wald­strand hat seinen Namen völlig zurecht. Wir haben die Abende am Lager­feuer mit den Füßen im Sand bei rau­schendem Bach sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ließ keine Wünsche offen und ist stilvoll und durch­dacht ein­ge­richtet. Die tolle Archi­tektur hat es uns ermög­licht, unsere Kinder zu jeder Zeit im Blick zu haben — egal ob im Wohn­zimmer, auf der Ter­rasse, auf dem Rasen oder im Sand. Das nebenan lie­gende Freibad ist immer einen Besuch wert und Bad Her­renalb hat eine tolle Lage, um zu kurzen Tages­aus­flügen zu starten. Vielen Dank an Frau Moormann für ihre für­sorg­liche Betreuung.

Familie Geiger sagt:

Wir haben ein sehr schönes Wochenende mit drei kleinen Kindern hier ver­bracht, die vom “Strand” am Flußlauf mehr als angetan waren (ent­spannte Kinder = ent­spannte Erwachsene). Aus­stattung und Ambiente sind her­vor­ragend.

Thomas M. sagt:

Ist ein Traum. Waren mit drei Famillien und 4 Kindern dort. Perfekt ein­ge­richtet mit allem was man braucht, in herr­licher Lage, gran­diose Archi­tektur. Und einen Strand gibt es wirklich.
Haben bereits für nächstes Jahr gebucht.
