For culinary delights, we definitely recommend traditional Swabian cuisine such as spaetzle with sauce or cheese spaetzle at local eateries such as the Zur Rose country inn or the Adler restaurant.

In terms of outdoor activities, Schömberg has a lot to offer - from hiking and cycling to skiing in winter at the nearby Feldberg. The best time for outdoor activities is between April and October, when the weather is pleasantly mild.

Even on rainy days there is plenty to do: a visit to the Badkap thermal spa with its pools and saunas is a relaxing alternative. Alternatively, you can visit the local library or watch a film at the Balingen cinema centre.

A particularly beautiful spot in Schömberg is the Hörnle lookout point, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the valley. Another highlight are the waterfalls at the Haselbach, a popular photo motif and a perfect place for picnics and walks.
