Route facts

From Hinterzarten through the Höllental to Frankfurt Airport

Around 290 kilometres separate Hinterzarten from Frankfurt Airport, and we allow a good three hours for the run. The drive opens with the descent through the Höllental gorge road to Freiburg, the traditional way down from the High Black Forest into the Rhine valley. From Freiburg the A5 takes over and runs north past Karlsruhe and Mannheim to the Frankfurter Kreuz interchange.

Only the first half hour is winding country road; everything after that is motorway. In winter we build in extra time at the top, because Hinterzarten can still be under snow when the Rhine valley is already in spring.

Pick-up at your door in Hinterzarten

We collect you at the address you give us, whether that is the Kurhaus, a hotel on Freiburger Strasse or a holiday apartment out towards Bruderhalde. Your driver arrives ahead of the agreed time and loads suitcases, ski bags or a pushchair himself.

Many houses here sit off the main through road, so we confirm the exact approach in advance. On a pre-dawn departure that saves hunting for a driveway in falling snow.

Arriving at the departure terminal

You are dropped on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, whichever matches the airline on your ticket. The driver carries your luggage to the hall entrance so you go from kerb to check-in in one move.

For High Black Forest guests with oversized bags this is the real gain: skis and snowboards go straight from the boot to the counter instead of across three railway platforms.

Hinterzarten, a spa village under the ski jump

Hinterzarten has around 2,500 residents and a reputation far beyond the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district as a climatic health resort. The Adlerschanze jump on the edge of the village shaped a whole generation of German ski jumpers, while in summer the Ravenna gorge and the trails towards the Feldberg fill the place.

Neighbouring Breitnau, Titisee-Neustadt and Lenzkirch sit on the same upland plateau, only minutes away. Guests who holiday here or book one of the conference hotels almost always fly in or out of Frankfurt.

Practical notes for this route

For morning departures we pick up while it is still dark, since a route this long rewards an hour of buffer. Our cars run on winter tyres in the cold months, because the Höllental road is cleared reliably but not always immediately.

Larger groups leaving a seminar hotel travel better in one van than in two separate cars. Please flag ski luggage, golf bags or a pushchair when you book.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Hinterzarten?

A metered taxi from Hinterzarten would put all 290 kilometres on the clock, and you only learn the total once you are standing at the terminal. The train means the Höllental line to Freiburg, a change into long-distance services, and wrestling luggage or skis along the platform. A rental car adds drop-off formalities and a hunt for the right car park before you even reach departures. The fixed-price transfer runs door to terminal with no changes, and the amount is settled before you set off.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Hinterzarten to Frankfurt Airport take?

The drive from Hinterzarten to Frankfurt Airport takes about 193 minutes for 290 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 40 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Hinterzarten for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Hinterzarten about 5 h 53 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 53 min for long-haul. That is 193 minutes of driving, 40 minutes of traffic buffer and 2 or 3 hours at the terminal. The booking form proposes the pickup time for you.

How much is a transfer from Hinterzarten to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 290 km route is shown in the booking form before you book and never changes afterwards — regardless of traffic, time of day, weekday or how long the drive actually takes. It depends on the vehicle class and the distance, not on a meter.

How much luggage fits in each vehicle?

The sedan classes take 2 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 7 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 passengers. Declare oversized items such as skis, a golf bag or a pushchair when booking so the right class is dispatched.

Is this a taxi or a chauffeur service?

This is a chauffeur service: the journey is booked in advance, the price is fixed before you book and no meter runs. Your driver wears a suit, greets you by name and helps with the luggage — in the Business and First Class categories it is a limousine service with a Mercedes E- or S-Class. You hail a taxi at a rank; a chauffeur is booked to the minute in Hinterzarten. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Hinterzarten.

Can I pay the driver by card?

Card payment is accepted directly in the vehicle — as is cash or paying online in advance, and business customers can be invoiced. You receive a receipt with VAT shown either way.

Can I travel with an infant or child seat?

A child seat, booster or infant carrier is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. State the child's age so the correct size group is installed.

How does free cancellation work?

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the agreed pickup time. After that a cancellation fee may apply; at the pickup address in Hinterzarten 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
