News Update

Todtnau Chairlift up Hasenhorn mountain
 If you have holidayed with us in Haus Barnabas you will have appreciated the wonderful provision of the Konus Guest Card. All guests staying in the area are duty bound to pay the local 'Kurtax' which for Utzenfeld is now 2.40 Euro per night. In exchange you receive a guestcard and a number of tokens for free or concessionary use of local tourist attractions and entry into museums etc.
    Your guestcard acts as a bus and train pass for free use of public transport over a very wide area of the Black Forest. In fact it will take you as far as Karlsruhe, 170 km north of us, all for free as long as you don't use intercity trains.
     The good news is that in 2014 there are added concessions. Now in addition to free entry into our
Mountain coaster (2.90 km) back down mountain
open air swimming pools and use of mini golf as often as you like you, there is a token for a free ride up the Hasenhorn mountain by chairlift and free ride down the longest mountain coaster in Germany, (2.9 km). See pictures. Other tokens give FREE entry into a local amusement park  (Steinwesen),  the cable-car and tower on the Feldberg mountain, two different thermal baths as well as several museums.
   Guests of all ages enjoy these facilities and many have expressed astonishment at the German efficiency and regularity of the bus and train services and the consideration and helpfulness of most of the drivers.
