Other walks in the area
Circular route around Schonach via the Blindensee
A pleasant route in the hills above Schonach. You will pass through the Blindensee nature reserve. This deep black lake is surrounded by marshy wetlands, home to many rare plant species.
Triberg Black Forest Railway Trail
An interesting route that follows the Black Forest railway line. Several vantage points showcase the ingenuity used to overcome the difference in height with the help of double circular loops. Along the way, you’ll see the world’s largest cuckoo clock.
The Braunhörnle and the Rohrhardsberg via the Genießerpfade
A pleasant route leading to the Braunhörnle. This summit offers a panoramic view of the Yach valley. The route also passes through the Rohrhardsberg nature reserve. The landscapes here are varied, alternating between forests, pastures and meadows.
Elzhof–Schonacher Wälderweg circular loop via Blindensee
A pleasant route that initially follows the Elz stream past a beautiful waterfall. The route then follows part of the Schonach forest path, then passes through the Blindenhöhe nature reserve and around Blindensee.
Nußhurtkapelle and Triberger Wasserfälle from Triberg (Germany)
This loop will take you from Triberg (Baden-Württemberg) which, as well as being a major cuckoo factory, is also famous for its waterfall, the highest in Germany. A hike for everyone.
The route is in two parts:
The long 9 km loop takes you through forests and mountain meadows to discover some magnificent scenery.
The shorter 2.3 km loop takes you to the waterfall, which unfortunately is very popular with tourists, so there is a charge for admission (€8).
A circular walk in the Black Forest near Hausach
A very pretty hike in the Black Forest, 50 km north-east of Freiburg (Freiburg im Breisgau) and 60 km
north of Lake Titisee.
You can admire the countryside and forest scenery, as well as the town of Hausach with its castle and beautiful traditional houses.
Lauterbach hiking trail
This trail has it all: the "Qualitätsweg Wanderbares Deutschland" (Quality Trail Wanderbares Deutschland) runs for 34 kilometres at altitudes between 568 and 879 metres. Nevertheless, the ascents on the "Lauterbacher Wandersteig" add up to a good 1350 metres in altitude.
Circuit starting from Haslach via the Sacred Well and the Urenkopf
A beautiful hike starting from Haslach that takes you to the Sacred Well and Chapel, the Urenkopf and the Devil's Pulpit rocks. Very pleasant in warm weather as it is mostly shaded but offers some beautiful views.
