When booking the Sonne we had a terrible time trying to figure out exactly where it was. It is not, as some websites tell you, in Freiburg. It is in Kirchzarten which is just a short train ride from Freiburg. We took the scenic train from Baden-Baden to Kirchzarten on a snowy, winter day. It was a great trip, but... More

This was the final leg of Cap'n Vacation's European tour....Wanted a good staging area for the Black Forest and Colmar France.....Pictures make it look like this hotel is in the country however it is not - it is in a small town close to shops, a beer garden, restaurants and a bakery. Our room was a little small but was... More

We stayed here two nights. The hotel is pleasant and slightly old fashioned. Our room was rather small and a bit dated. The dining room had an excellent menu of local fresh food matched with local wines. The owner and son were helpful and friendly. The internet service broke down while we were there (for more than 24 hours) which... More

We stayed at Hotel Sonne for 6 nights through to New Years Day 2010. Family Rombach who own and run the hotel extended a warm welcome and offered help and advice to make our stay in the Black Forest a pleasurable one. We stayed on a half board basis and the food was absolutely fantastic every single evening. Our New... More

The Sonne is a... More

This was like a place straight out of a fairy tale book and our experience was exceptional!!!!! Top notch and right near everything! My suggestion is to rent Bikes and ride them all around the area. One of our best stops in the world!!:) More

I have just returned from a trip to the Black Forest area of Germany. Having travelled to this spot previously, staying in the gorgeous town of Freiburg, i wanted to get out of town a bit, but not too far! Enter the town of Kirchzarten. This is a particularly charming village, an easy 10 minutes out of Freiburg, and set... More
