LOST PLACES: Abandoned Hotels In The Black Forest – The Spooky Side Of Tourism In Germany | Documentary

The Rise and Fall of the Black Forest High Road – A Legendary Route in Decline
The Black Forest High Road was once among Germany’s most scenic and prestigious travel routes. Spanning 60 kilometers through the northern Black Forest, it connected historic spa towns and boasted luxurious hotels. However, its grandeur has faded, leaving behind abandoned buildings and forgotten landmarks.

The Forgotten Luxury: Hotels of the Elite Turned to Ruins
From the early 20th century to the post-war economic boom, hotels like the Grand Hotel VL and Schloss Hotel Bühlerhöhe attracted royalty, celebrities, and industrialists. Today, many of these structures stand vacant, victims of neglect and speculation. Attempts at restoration are ongoing but face financial and logistical hurdles.

A Future for the High Road?
While parts of the route struggle with decay, some initiatives aim to revitalize the region. New tourism projects and conservation efforts seek to reconnect the High Road with modern travelers. Whether it will reclaim its former glory remains uncertain.
