Nagold walks

Nothing beats a stroll along a cheerfully babbling stream on hot days. The Stream Discovery Trail near Iselshausen offers just that. Here, the Steinach becomes a real experience. You can hear the water rushing everywhere, seating stones invite you to linger, and anyone who wishes can cross the stream on large stepping stones or cool their feet in the water. Here, you can experience nature and water up close.

This scenic circular walk leads from Holzbronn across open meadows and along shady woodland paths, past the Waldeck ruins and through parts of the fascinating Xanderklinge Gorge. “Moment, linger a while! You are so beautiful!” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust I) This quote beautifully captures what awaits you at the ‘AugenBlick’ viewpoint in Holzbronn and at all the others: a breathtaking and utterly beautiful view. These special viewpoints, complete with a bench, a small table and a labelled panorama board, invite you to discover the landscape. The ‘AugenBlick’ viewpoints are designed in the style of the nature park’s logo – the distinctive ‘nature park eye’ – and also serve as the starting point for a circular walk, the ‘AugenBlick-Runde’. Let your gaze wander and discover the diverse natural and cultural landscape of the nature park!

A great circular walk for lovers of unspoilt nature who can't get enough of the calming effect of the forest and who are hungry for exercise in the fresh air and pure freedom.

This circular walk takes us through beautiful mixed woodland and past red sandstone cliffs to the Waldeck ruins and to the largest wooden overshot waterwheel in Europe.

The ‘Ammerbucher Gigeleswegle’ premium walking trail lives up to what its Swabian name promises throughout its entire length: from many spots, you can enjoy excellent views of the countryside. The word ‘Gigele’ comes from the Swabian dialect and roughly means ‘to look’ or ‘to keep an eye out’. And the trail certainly offers some fantastic views. At times, the view opens up to intimate glimpses of picturesque vineyards, idyllic villages or quiet little valleys; at others, it stretches far and wide across the Gäu region and as far as the Swabian Alb.

The ‘AugenBlick’ circular walk takes you once round the Sommerberg with a gentle gradient and offers unique views both along the way and at the start and finish points. Signposted with the nature park’s ‘eye’ symbol and a yellow diamond, the ‘AugenBlick’ circular walk covers around four and a half kilometres around the Sommerberg in Bad Wildbad in the Northern Black Forest.

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.

Start from the Sarbacher Hotel in Kaltenbronn (Gernsbach). Several large car parks are available, so it's fairly easy to find a space. The car parks are connected by a tarmac footpath. Ideal hike for a family outing. No steep or technical slopes. There is a very long wooden pontoon leading to a well-preserved pond. Pets are allowed along the entire route. The trail is well marked with the option to extend the route.

The ancestral seat of the Prussian royal family and the Princes of Hohenzollern, Hohenzollern Castle is one of the most visited castles in Europe. Perched on a high hill in Swabia, the building, adorned with numerous towers, has a picturesque, medieval appearance when viewed from a distance. The view from Hohenzollern Castle is well worth the detour, though you’ll need to be prepared for a brisk 20-minute walk to finally reach the castle.

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.

The signposted Gernsbach Legends Trail (Genießerpfad) runs mainly over natural terrain and, despite a few inclines, can be comfortably walked in 1.5 to 2 hours of pure walking time over a distance of 5.3 km. It is characterised by its many narrow, sometimes almost alpine paths, which link the individual stops together. However, this means the trail is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchair users; sturdy footwear is definitely recommended. The signposted circular route begins at the Klingel Chapel (Schlossstraße, Klingelstraße, about 1 kilometre towards Obertsrot) and connects seven stops around the Gernsberg. The route is consistently signposted with the ‘little devil’ symbol. Parking is available at the Gernsbach Spa Gardens on Igelbachstraße. As a so-called ‘Genießerpfad’, the Gernsbach Legends Trail has been awarded the premium seal of approval by the German Hiking Institute.
