From here you have a brilliant view over the large Wiesental and the surrounding mountains, right next to the hiking car park.
It's just a pity that the economy of the same name is closed, only pension.

Great round with Sina from Holz to Dornwasen Sattelwasenhütte Herrenschwand Holz. Beautiful circular route with a great view

November 13, 2022,Familienrunde im Wiesental: Dornwasenpanoramaweg ⭐️

Because it was so nice, climbed up the fog again in the Wiesental today, this time on the other side of the valley.
The start is at the Holzer Kreuz hiking car park (€2 into the fun box). From there to the Holzer Kreuz, the Belchen lifts its head out of the fog. Now initially in the shade upwards until …

January 6, 2023,Schneckenkopf- rundwanderweg bei Schönau

I definitely have to do this beautiful hike again when the weather is sunny. The area is more reminiscent of a high alpine pasture, with a lot of open space, individual conifers and a sparse forest. Two huts invite you to have a snack. Started at the Holzer Kreuz car park, first on tar road, then on a beautiful forest …

November 3, 2024,Holzer Kreuz – Herrenschwand Runde - ein Panorama Traum 😴 😍🤩

Directly from the Holzer Kreuz inn, opposite the road towards Holzer Kreuz and turn right, climb steeply uphill and then always slightly uphill on the yellow diamond to Herrenschwand.
The towpath runs beautifully on the sunny side and at the end turns into a beautiful path through cow pastures to Herrenschwand.
In Herrenschwand we took a quick look at the …

April 9, 2023,🌞1001 Panoramen rund um das Holzer Kreuz😍

For me one of the most beautiful tours in the southern Black Forest. Simply park in Herrenschwand or at the Holzer Kreuz and enjoy the most beautiful views over 6 km. The area is also not as crowded with tourists as the classic vantage points. Unfortunately, there was no stop today, but still a top tour! Unfortunately, the way back …

January 21, 2023,🇩🇪 Endlich Winter im südlichen Schwarzwald

Winter showed itself from its most beautiful side today. We hiked from the "Holzer Kreuz" hiking car park via the Sattelwasenhütte to Herrenschwand, where we took a break in the newly designed restaurant at Waldfrieden. The break was extended with a good meal and dessert, so that we reached our parking lot just in time before it got dark.
Normally …

February 21, 2025,Herrenschwand-Holzer Kreuz

Highlights:

Holzer Kreuz
Great vantage point with a view of Schönau, the Wiesental and Belchen, among others.

The tour shines throughout with great views of the Wiesental and Belchen, among others, and from time to time you can also see the Alps. The route is mostly on wide, paved paths. On the last part of the tour (approx. 1 km), …

August 23, 2021,Herrenschwand - Schneckenkopfrundwanderung

Easy "hike more Black Forest is not possible" on paved forest paths. Short passages with footpaths over the high pastures.
Parking at the end of the village on the paved area in front of the lift station.
