Tips

Durbach

The Hermannswälder-Hof is located at approx. 440 m above sea level. below the southern ridge from Mooskopf (873m) to Brandeckkopf (690m).

With a distance of around 6.5 km to the center of Durbach, the farm was dependent on self-sufficiency for almost four centuries. Up until the 1950s, agriculture and silviculture were predominantly carried out on an area of approx. From the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century, the farm also cultivated several types of wine, mainly for its own consumption.

In the first years of settlement, the farm was probably managed in the way that was customary at the time, i.e. the forest was cleared and the fields that had been "reutilized" were planted with grain, beans, fruit and probably from the beginning of 1800 at the earliest with potatoes.

Because of the extremely steep slopes, the management of the entire farm is very difficult to this day. Agriculture has therefore been pushed back more and more in the past decades and in 2008 livestock farming was completely given up.

The original grinding mill at Hermannswaldbächle was converted to generate electricity around 1930. The connection to the energy supply of EW-Mittelbadens only took place in 1959.
The farm has been run as a part-time business since 2011. In 1768 the farm was first mentioned under the family name of Bürg (Bürck). However, it can be assumed that there was already a farm. The Huber family has owned the farm since 1812. With the current owner Simone Huber, the farm is now in the seventh generation.
The current house with an economic part was built in 1965 in place of the log house from the 18th century. The Leibgedinghaus on the opposite side of the valley from the courtyard was built in 1907.

Year of construction: 1965
Size: 41.5 hectares
Branches of business: forestry / Christmas trees, fruit growing / distillery, holiday homes
Animals: sheep and small animals

The Hermannswälderhof. For me personally the most beautiful on the tour. We used the wide range to spend our lunch break here. In addition to the usual schnapps, beer and liqueur, there were also picolos from Durbacher sparkling wine and wine spritzer - along with smoked sausages.
