Upper Schlossfelsen Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

In my opinion, the two castle rocks (upper / lower) are more worth seeing than the Rappen rock.

Top 👌 Hike on the rock path from Hornberg with Meet5 (which I have done the other way around before). We were almost exclusively on narrow paths in the forest. From the magnificent rocks such as Windeckfelsen, Schlossfelsen or Feierabendfels you have a beautiful view and deep perspective. Despite the fairly large group of 13 people, we moved quickly. In …

An extremely beautiful hike high above the Gutach and Hornberg. It goes on mostly narrow forest paths, including over Windeckfelsen, Schlossfelsen, Rappenfelsen, Feierabendfelsen, and a number of other rocky peaks and magnificent views.
A must for experienced Black Forest hikers!

We parked the car for free at the train station, after the hike we stopped at the Felsen inn in Hornberg. We were …

Nice tour on mostly beautiful paths, unfortunately quite overgrown at the moment. The section back from the rocks is unfortunately a bit long and runs along roads. But overall a nice tour!

Arriving in Hornberg, I first followed the blue/red diamond on the Lahr-Rottweil cross trail. A root-covered path led me to the Gesundbrunnen monument with a barbecue area and water spring. Then I followed the yellow diamond on the rock path toward Immelsbacher Höhe. The Windeckfelsen rock was the first highlight, offering a great view. I'm almost certain I saw a …

Today a beautiful Easter hike with Petra! We start after a bumpy road at the Gesundbrunnen barbecue area. This time I'm doing the hike in reverse compared to 2021 and without Offgrid and without the loop to Storeck. 2021: komoot.de/tour/394814218?ref=aso
Initially, we walk on forest roads, then over wonderful paths through the forest. The ground consists of crumbly granite, the …

May 30, 2025,Schwarzwald💚- Felsenwege bei Hornberg und Besuch von Schloss Hornberg

On Friday, we decided to go for a hike near Hornberg to hide from the sun on the rocky paths😉 and explore the surrounding rocks.

Many of the rocks are accessible and secured with railings, and you have an incredibly beautiful view of the surrounding area, even as far as Triberg😀.
