This imposing cluster of white houses, set in the narrow Murg Valley north of Baiersbronn, has broad appeal. Families can nest here thanks to children's programs, wellness-seekers can take advantage of the spa facilities on the roof, and sightseers can use this as a base for exploring much of the Black Forest. Comfortable guest rooms are in high-end country style, all with generously sized bathrooms. But best of all are the two restaurants under the leadership of one of Germany's finest chefs, Jörg Sackmann. The Anita-Stube ($$-$$$) serves regional specialties, and the Restaurant Schlossberg ($$$) delights diners with stunning creations such as John Dory with grapefruit, marinated bacon, and fresh coriander. Pros: good for families, beautiful location. Cons: far from the sights.
