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.

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.
