Halfway 7 Moore
A large part of the 7 Moore walk is over regular (forest) roads. Because the entire walk was too long for our 12-year-old dog in the sweltering heat, we cut straight through the forest about halfway, following an ancient route (Kirchspielgrenzweg). This makes for a nicer walk through untrodden paths (yet maintained by the foresters).

Departure from Todtmoos (Regierungsbezirk Freiburg)
The Schluchtensteig trail leads in six stages over 119 km from Stühlingen to Wehr, right across the southern Black Forest.
The last stage is the longest at almost 22 km. In case of continuous or heavy rain or other incidents, this is an easy alternative if you want to get to Wehr somehow and cannot walk through the Wehraschlucht gorge.
While the first half of the stage to Gersbach offers some variety, the hike to Wehr is exclusively downhill on a gravel forest path.
