Departure from Kandern (Regierungsbezirk Freiburg)
A visit to the Wolfsschlucht is the main attraction of this route, which runs largely through woodland. There is a picnic and barbecue area in the middle of the gorge. Several other spots ideal for a break are located along the route, starting with the car park at the start. In the gorges, with their astonishing rock formations, you are transported to another world. Well worth a visit.

Easy
Departure from Steinen (Regierungsbezirk Freiburg)
A walk mainly through woodland on the heights of Hägelberg. As the car park is situated almost at the highest point, the walk initially descends slightly towards the village across open ground, offering stunning views of the Alps in good weather. The paths are wide and signposted, except for the first section.

PLEASE NOTE (May 2025): the hotel is currently undergoing renovation and work is not due to be completed any time soon. The upper car park is congested and it is impossible to eat or watch the paragliders; to reach the tower, you must walk around the summit
You will discover the southernmost peak of the Black Forest, which rises to 1,165 m.From up there, you can see the start of the Rhine Plain to the west, the Vosges Mountains to the south and the Jura Mountains to the south. In fine weather, the Swiss Alps and, to the north, the peaks of the Black Forest complete the panorama.
