Food and drink

On most (but not all) sections, you will be able to find serviced huts or cafés/restaurants along the way. Hotels usually have a restaurant on the premises, but some types of guesthouses (Pension) do not. Some Schwarzwaldverein huts are only open on weekends and public holidays during the main hiking season. Restaurants often take their day off (Ruhetag) on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Thus, it is always a good idea to bring some supplies – squirrel away an extra sandwich and pack some fruit from the breakfast buffet, or ask for a lunchbox before heading out.

Those following a special diet, such as gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan or vegetarian, may find their options severely limited. Although most better restaurants offer at least a couple of vegetarian alternatives, it is best to check your options before you get there. Many restaurants will be happy to accommodate you if they know your requirements in advance, but don’t expect to find multiple choices for non-traditional diets on the regular menu. For an explanation of certain regional food items, see the glossary in Appendix D.
