Zartenbach Stream

Highlight • River

The path from the Mathisle mill to the Mathisle pond is similar to a trail (stones, roots). So be sure to wear sturdy shoes 🥾.

A small, idyllic bog lake between Hinterzarten and Feldsee. Located in the middle of the nature reserve, it is only accessible on foot or by bike - luckily! Wonderfully quiet and beautiful. Perfect for a little break!

The Windeckkopf is 1,209 meters high. From here you have a great view of Hinterzarten, the Dreisamtal and, when the weather is good, you can see as far as the Vosges.

Beautiful circular tour with moderate inclines. My highlight was the path along the Zartenbach to the Mathisleweiher.
Behind the Doblerhäusle you should not follow the wide tarmac road, but rather descend via the Windeck path to Hinterzarten.

It's finally stopped raining! Today we start our hike at the Thomahütte near Hinterzarten.
A delightful hike with wonderful views, narrow paths, and wide, varied forest trails. The many beautiful fly agarics 🍄🍄🍄 with their bright red caps and white spots are outstanding and wonderful to look at this time of year!
