Arriving by train, changing in Radolfzell and Hausach to Schiltach.
From the train station, through the rafting town of Schiltach with its indescribably beautiful half-timbered houses. Then uphill to the Schlossberg where you can see a few remains of the walls of Schiltach Castle and some beautiful views of Schiltach and the surrounding area.
Continue uphill through meadows and forests …

This hike ideally combines history and beautiful nature. The castle ruins of Schenkenburg, Schiltach and the Schlossberg are historical highlights. You have to bring a little more time to process everything. On the other hand, the hike through the beautiful nature in the Kinzig valley is another pleasure. Moderately difficult with a few steep paths.
