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 1 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 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).
Accommodations for transfer guests are available in selected hotels and vacation apartments. Vacation apartments offer kitchenettes. Half-board arrangements are available in most hotels. Lodging costs range from $75.00 to $125.00 for a vacation apartment and from $60.00 upwards per person for hotel accommodations, which includes breakfast. (Please note: Prices depend on the dollar/euro exchange rate.)
Transfer guests can make their own reservations; lodging information is available via the Black Forest tourism website (https://www.hochschwarzwald.de/en). The hall where services will be held is within walking distance of most lodging units within the main village area.
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. Expected attendance is approximately 200.
Most services will be held in German, with a simultaneous translation into English. International guests who do not speak German will need to bring their own FM radio and headphones to services to be able to receive the simultaneous translation.
Reservations: Visitors wishing to attend should register on the UCG-Germany website at www.vkg.org/fot.php. Registration is required and an e-mail address is needed for registration. Transfer capacity is limited to 50 guests this year.
We do welcome English-speaking guest speakers, so if you are a regular speaker in your home church area and would like to contribute in Titisee, please indicate your willingness in the “Other Comments” field on the registration form.
