This year’s Feast of Tabernacles will again be held in Titisee. The picturesque town of Titisee is set on Lake Titisee in southern Germany, in a beautiful area just 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the Black Forest’s highest mountain, the Feldberg (1,493 meters, 4,860 feet). 

Lake Titisee, with its scenic town of Titisee, is a glacially formed lake approximately one mile long (1.6 kilometers) and 130 feet deep. Tradition says that Roman general Titus once camped in the area, supposedly giving the lake its name. 

Temperatures in late September and early October can be seasonally warm on sunny days, but evenings and daytime rainy periods may be chilly because of Titisee’s altitude (845 meters, approximately 2,775 feet). 

Services

Most services will be held in German, with simultaneous translation into English. Guests who do not speak German will need to bring their own FM radio and headphones to services to receive the simultaneous translation. UCG-Germany uses its own German-language hymnal based on the United Church of God hymnal. Please bring your own UCG hymnal with you. You can also use the UCG hymnal app of course.

Travel

Direct “German Rail” (Deutsche Bahn AG) service is available via Freiburg to Titisee. However, car rental is recommended for ease of transportation and sightseeing. Titisee is about 180 miles (290 kilometers) south of the Frankfurt International Airport or 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of the Zurich International Airport.

Bus tour

The bus trip this year will probably be going to the Lake of Constance. At the Lake of Constance (1,5 hour driving distance from Titisee) there is the beautiful flower island Mainau: https://www.mainau.de/en/home.
