A former farm estate, first documented around 1300 and run as an inn from 1600 onwards. Today, the Hofgut Himmelreich inn is run as an inclusive business and offers permanent employment to people with intellectual disabilities, in addition to non-disabled employees, based on hotel and restaurant rates. Opening hours and contact details (room booking and reservations): https://hofgut-himmelreich.de/ There is also a non-denominational chapel dedicated to St. James. A Way of St. James, long used by pilgrims, passes through here. You wouldn't notice that the chapel has been demolished twice for road construction. It has been rebuilt repeatedly under the supervision of the Monument Protection Office. The property is just a short walk from Himmelreich train station, from where you can take the Höllentalbahn (Hell Valley Railway) towards Titisee and Freiburg. There is a noise barrier facing the B31.

The cabin is well located, well-maintained, and offers an outdoor fireplace. A saw and axe for chopping firewood are also available. But: the previously existing stove in the cabin has unfortunately been dismantled. Update: Surprise, the stove is back.

A highly recommended viewpoint! "The Frauensteigfelsen [...] is a rocky outcrop in the middle of the forest on the east side of the Zarten Basin. The rock, located at a height of 773 m, offers a wide view over the Zarten Basin all the way to Freiburg. The basin lies at the foot of the viewpoint like a toy landscape: impressive and charming." https://www.tourismus-bw.de/attraktionen/frauensteigfelsen-03a01316c5
