View of Baden-Baden from the Falkenwand

Highlight • Viewpoint

The vantage point is the largest easily accessible area from the upper rock path over the Battertfelsen. In warm weather you can forget the time when you sit on the warmed rocks and look over Baden-Baden and the Black Forest. The mountain guard hut is also by the rocks.

Stone Steps on the Upper Felsenweg

Highlight • Trail

They lead through moss-covered forests and past impressive rock formations – a bit like an enchanted path through the Black Forest.

Old Hohenbaden Castle

Highlight • Castle

The old Hohenbaden Castle was the first residence of the powerful Margraves of Baden. It is one of three castles on the Black Forest hills surrounding Baden-Baden. Today, the ruins are impressive due to their immense size. The castle houses a very good restaurant with various rooms, and a beer garden is open in the castle courtyard during the summer.

Stone Staircases on the Battert

The path over the rock stairs is imposing but with caution to enjoy. Amazement or go is announced here. Highly Recommended.

Nice hike. Unfortunately very touristy, avoid weekends and public holidays if you prefer a little serenity.

Today in beautiful spring weather from Baden Baden to the Old Castle Hohenbaden and via the Battertfels group and the Hungerberg back to the city. Was pleasantly surprised at how diverse the landscape is.

August 29, 2025,vom 🅿️ am Battertweg zum Schlossberg 🏰 und über den Battert 🚶‍♂️👟🦅🦇.🌲🍀.

After five years, I'm back at Battert, but this time not via the Wolfsschlucht and Ebersteinburg, but in a shorter version 😥 with a few HM elevation gain 💪, and once again, good old surefootedness 🥾 was required 😉. The view 👀 from the Ritterplatte and the rock massif 👀 is always worth it, and the oak tree 🌳 is …

A stay in Rastatt with a detour to Baden-Baden was somewhat surprising. The tour of the old castle and the Battertfelsen could be extended, we just got off a bit late for that.
