The high-altitude climate trail is very beautiful, but you can only see the lake a little at the beginning and then again the last level section, along the east bank back to the village. The Titisee was created by the Feldberg Glacier, whose moraines formed in the Pleistocene form its banks today. It is fed by the Seebach and the outflow is the Gutach, which later becomes the Wutach. On the northern shore is the spa town of the same name. There are at least four different theories about the origin of the name, I like the one with the Roman general Titus the best. The Titisee is 2 km long, 700 m wide, covers an area of 1.07 km² and has an average depth of 20 m.
