Description of the walk

Start: Near the Bienen-Häusle hiking hut

(S/E) Near Schramberg, on the eastern edge of the central Black Forest, the trail circles the deeply carved Lauterbach Valley and the wide, high-altitude Sulzbach Valley. It takes in striking red sandstone formations and the ‘Felsenmeer’ near the Hohenschramberg castle ruins (1), offering impressive views of pastures, Black Forest farmsteads and small farm chapels. At 879 metres, the Mooswaldkopf (2) is the highest point of the route. Its 25-metre-high observation tower offers views stretching as far as the Vosges in the west, the Swiss Alps in the south and the Swabian Alb in the east. Those wishing to walk the trail in two stages can find overnight accommodation at around ten guesthouses along the route (S/E).
