Baiersbronn walks

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.

A short trail (1 km) in the middle of a nature reserve allows you to discover two interesting things: how nature is rebuilding itself after the Lothar storm of 1999 without human intervention and how woodpeckers interact with trees. Several variations of the route are available, including one that allows you to walk along the trail with a pushchair or wheelchair as it is made of wooden planks.Hikers can continue on the Panoramarundweg trail or take other hikes a little further afield (by bus or car) in the Black Forest (including the Allerheiligen waterfalls).

Are you looking for a short, scenic yet challenging hike less than an hour from Strasbourg? This circular route offers panoramic views of the Alsace plain and, on the other side, the Black Forest mountain range. It partly follows a route marked by the Schwarzwälder Genießerpfade (Black Forest Gourmet Trail), but in the opposite direction, so you’ll come across a few other walkers. It doesn’t follow this route exactly either, taking a few detours to make the walk shorter and offer more panoramic views.

Un circuit facile dans la forêt. Passage le long d'un torrent. Le clou est le lac d'origine glaciaire Wildsee, l'un des plus beau et plus sauvage de la Forêt Noire. Au retour, nous empruntons le sentier en balcon sur la plaine du Rhin et passons devant le monument commémoratif de la tempête "Lothar" de 1999.

A beautiful circular hike starting at the foot of the Allerheiligen waterfall. Discover the old convent in the village. The route then climbs gradually to the heights above Ottenhöfen and finally loops back to Schliffkopf.

A pleasant short hike along the gorges, which are home to a series of waterfalls. The hike can be done in either direction of the circular route.The direction of the circular loop shown is the ascent of the gorges and waterfalls. The path consists of steps to make the ascent easier. Once you arrive in the hamlet of Allerheiligen, you will find amenities and places to eat.The ruins of an ancient abbey are open to visitors. The return journey is along a forest road.There is a dedicated car park at the start/finish point. Please note that this hike can be very popular and can get quite crowded, both in the car park and along the route.

A hike in the Black Forest mountains, culminating in the glacial lake of Mummelsee and, on a clear day, a breathtaking view from the summit of Hornisgrinde over the Rhine Valley, Strasbourg and the Vosges mountains.

Hike to the highest peak in the northern Black Forest, the Hornisgrinde (1,164 m), which you climb twice, first from the south and then from the north. Superb panoramic view of the Rhine plain. You pass the TV transmitter with its impressive 206 m high transmission tower. The route then passes through Ochsenstall, from where you reach the Unterstmatt ski resort. You return via another climb up the Hornisgrinde, then cross the peat bogs before passing the Dreifürstenstein.

A hike alternating between forests and sloping pastures in the typical Black Forest landscape, with lovely green valleys and babbling brooks. More accessible all year round from the Dollenberg car park (accessible via the B28 road), this alternative route is slightly longer than the official 13.4 km ‘Wiesensteig’ route recommended by the Bad Peterstal Griesbach Tourist Office.

A varied circular hike through the Edelfrauengrab waterfalls and over the Karlsruhe ridge with beautiful views of the Achertal valley and the Rhine valley.

On this circuit around the village of Ottenhöffen, you will see five mills, a water-powered forge and... numerous self-service schnapps fountains (Schnappsbrunnen). You are asked to pay for what you consume by putting your money in the box provided. Various non-alcoholic drinks are also available.The route passes through low mountain meadows and forests.

Do you enjoy the sound of running water, birdsong and a bit of a hike? You can do all that here with the family.

A short 44 km route with over 1,000 metres of ascent. The scenery is typical of the Black Forest and offers views overlooking the Rhine plain. A challenging taste of the region. Refreshments are available at Mummelsee or Untersmatt.

This route will take you from Ottenhöffen to Eichkopf, the Edelfrauengrab waterfalls, the Karlsruher Grat rocky ridge, the Scherzfelsen rock and back along the Acker river.

A long and physically demanding hike, but the view from Mummelsee is well worth the effort. The route starts off gently at the bottom of the valley, then from the small lake (watch out for the aggressive swan!) the path becomes much steeper. Return via an alternative route. If, once you reach Mummelsee, you feel you need to shorten the return journey, turn back – you’ll save 4 km.

A lovely little walk above Bühl, starting from Windeck Castle, then passing through orchards, meadows and vineyards to the entrance to Bühl, and finally climbing up to the higher ground. The walk is signposted by the “Kappler Genusstour” signs.
