Panoramatour Burg Staufen

A lovely circular route around the small village of Bollschweil, alternating between wide forest tracks and narrow paths. At times you’ll be walking through sheltered woodland, at others enjoying sweeping views along meadow paths.

A panoramic tour in the Markgräflerland region from Britzingen to the Neuenfels ruins. Along the way, we enjoy great views of the Black Forest and as far as the Vosges mountains.

Cross beautiful pastures leading to the Gerstenhalm Pass and then on to Eduardshöhe for remarkable views of Horben before a short stop at the Giesshübel inn and its panoramic terrace. Return to St Ulrich, first along the ridges with views of the Belchen, then through the forest via the Kohlerhof inn.

Visit the Sensory Park and the centre of Badenweiler, featuring the Swan Lake, the ruins of the Roman baths, the Kurhaus, the ruins of Baden Castle, the view of the Vosges, the castle grounds and the town centre with its shops. The walk is short, allowing you to try out the facilities in the Park of the Senses, discover the remarkable trees and gardens, statues, pavilions and viewpoints in the Spa Park, stroll through the town’s streets, take a ‘coffee and cake’ break at one of the many cafés and terraces, sit for a moment at the Vogesenblick and simply take in the view.

This third stage will take you from the Auberge d'Haldenhof to Notschreipass. The route follows the Westweg Schwartzwald. The highest point of the day is at Belchen, which offers a panoramic view. On a clear day, you can see the Alps from Austria to Mont Blanc.

The marked circular hiking trail (yellow diamond) runs alongside the St. Ulrich Circular Trail (yellow diamond and town coat of arms) from the Berglusthaus in a south-westerly direction through a charming meadow landscape, offering magnificent views of Geiersnest and the Upper Rhine Plain. Along the way, terraced steps and stone walls at the edge of the forest can be seen, indicating former agricultural use.It is also worth taking a look back at the beautifully situated Berglusthaus and the impressive landscape around the Hohbühl. Further downhill, the route alternates between woodland and grassland. From a crossroads at the edge of the forest, we enjoy another view of the meadows and scattered farmsteads of Geiersnest, before the stony path winds its way into the dense forest.

The 8 km circular trail was inaugurated in 2013 and leads to the most beautiful vantage points in St. Ulrich.It also offers an insight into the mountainous landscape, characterised by scattered farmsteads, with an impressive alternation of wide open grasslands and multi-layered forests. Furthermore, there are various places to stop for refreshments and rest areas along the trail. The St. Ulrich Circular Trail actually begins in the village centre at the signpost “St. Ulrich Rössle” (571 m). However, we join the route at the Berglusthaus and return here as well.

On this walk, you will discover historic sites around Badenweiler while enjoying breathtaking views over the vineyards and toward France. On the return journey, you will engage your senses and experience the landscape in a more playful way. The route leads you through woodlands, farmland, and vineyards, offering stunning scenery throughout.
