A great circular walk for lovers of unspoilt nature who can't get enough of the calming effect of the forest and who are hungry for exercise in the fresh air and pure freedom.

This scenic circular walk leads from Holzbronn across open meadows and along shady woodland paths, past the Waldeck ruins and through parts of the fascinating Xanderklinge Gorge. “Moment, linger a while! You are so beautiful!” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust I) This quote beautifully captures what awaits you at the ‘AugenBlick’ viewpoint in Holzbronn and at all the others: a breathtaking and utterly beautiful view. These special viewpoints, complete with a bench, a small table and a labelled panorama board, invite you to discover the landscape. The ‘AugenBlick’ viewpoints are designed in the style of the nature park’s logo – the distinctive ‘nature park eye’ – and also serve as the starting point for a circular walk, the ‘AugenBlick-Runde’. Let your gaze wander and discover the diverse natural and cultural landscape of the nature park!

This circular walk takes us through beautiful mixed woodland and past red sandstone cliffs to the Waldeck ruins and to the largest wooden overshot waterwheel in Europe.

The ‘AugenBlick’ circular walk takes you once round the Sommerberg with a gentle gradient and offers unique views both along the way and at the start and finish points. Signposted with the nature park’s ‘eye’ symbol and a yellow diamond, the ‘AugenBlick’ circular walk covers around four and a half kilometres around the Sommerberg in Bad Wildbad in the Northern Black Forest.

Start from the Sarbacher Hotel in Kaltenbronn (Gernsbach). Several large car parks are available, so it's fairly easy to find a space. The car parks are connected by a tarmac footpath. Ideal hike for a family outing. No steep or technical slopes. There is a very long wooden pontoon leading to a well-preserved pond. Pets are allowed along the entire route. The trail is well marked with the option to extend the route.

Nothing beats a stroll along a cheerfully babbling stream on hot days. The Stream Discovery Trail near Iselshausen offers just that. Here, the Steinach becomes a real experience. You can hear the water rushing everywhere, seating stones invite you to linger, and anyone who wishes can cross the stream on large stepping stones or cool their feet in the water. Here, you can experience nature and water up close.

The ‘AugenBlick’ circular walk from Pfalzgrafenweiler to Kälberbronn combines the joys of nature with culinary highlights. There are two excellent places to stop for refreshments along the route: one right at the start and another in the village centre.

The signposted Gernsbach Legends Trail (Genießerpfad) runs mainly over natural terrain and, despite a few inclines, can be comfortably walked in 1.5 to 2 hours of pure walking time over a distance of 5.3 km. It is characterised by its many narrow, sometimes almost alpine paths, which link the individual stops together. However, this means the trail is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchair users; sturdy footwear is definitely recommended. The signposted circular route begins at the Klingel Chapel (Schlossstraße, Klingelstraße, about 1 kilometre towards Obertsrot) and connects seven stops around the Gernsberg. The route is consistently signposted with the ‘little devil’ symbol. Parking is available at the Gernsbach Spa Gardens on Igelbachstraße. As a so-called ‘Genießerpfad’, the Gernsbach Legends Trail has been awarded the premium seal of approval by the German Hiking Institute.

The ‘Ammerbucher Gigeleswegle’ premium walking trail lives up to what its Swabian name promises throughout its entire length: from many spots, you can enjoy excellent views of the countryside. The word ‘Gigele’ comes from the Swabian dialect and roughly means ‘to look’ or ‘to keep an eye out’. And the trail certainly offers some fantastic views. At times, the view opens up to intimate glimpses of picturesque vineyards, idyllic villages or quiet little valleys; at others, it stretches far and wide across the Gäu region and as far as the Swabian Alb.

Explore the Gaggenau region, with its mix of woods, meadows and beautiful views. The route takes you past the Schlossköpfel, the Pestkreuz and the Hilsberghütte.

The route from the hiking car park to Saurucken, with its game reserves and playgrounds, is an absolute highlight of the Schönbuch Nature Park. The route starts at the popular Saurucken hiking car park above Entringen. From there, it follows a tarmac path into the forest to the game reserve at Saurucken, a fork in the path in the Schönbuch.

A lovely walk through the Tonbach Valley, then up through the hills on the way back. The walk begins along the River Tonbach, then the path climbs towards the game reserve. You may spot around twenty fallow deer in the vast enclosure. On the way back, you’ll pass along zigzag paths twice – a distinctive feature of this route.

Right next to the Naturfreundehaus, not far from the outdoor swimming pool, the barefoot trail in the Kohlplattenwald invites you to enjoy a special experience of nature. On this trail, which is unique in the region, you can feel a variety of surfaces – such as bark mulch, moss, pebbles, sand and even mud – up close at numerous stations. This allows you to experience nature first-hand with every step – an outing that sparks curiosity and awakens the senses.

A lovely hike in the Black Forest without any major difficulties. It takes us along wooded paths past Lake Sankenbachsee, the Sankenbacher Waterfalls, the Glasmännlehütte refuge and a short detour into the town of Baiersbronn.
