Schweinbachtal

Highlight • Gorge

Nice little valley. The further uphill you go, the more beautiful the path along the stream becomes.

Schweinbach Stepping Stones

Highlight • Structure

The crossing of the stream fits exactly with the hiking trail that runs along it. Overall it is very idyllic. Be careful of the slippery stones and wet feet.

A somehow mystical, jungle-like atmosphere. Gigantic! Narrow bridges and bridges let us change the creek side several times. Therefore, we hardly notice that we are gaining altitude step by step and soon leave the valley again.

Stone Bridge in the Schweinbach Valley

Highlight • Bridge

The barrel-vaulted bridge made of sandstone is located on the old church path from Oberkollbach to Altburg. The building dates back to the 18th century and was last restored in 2016. Very nice place by the stream.

Hermit's Cave

Highlight • Cave

If you are looking for some relief from the steep climb, the cool stone bench in the Bruderhöhle is the ideal place for it.

April 14, 2025,Abenteuerliches Schweinbachtal ab Calw Hirsau (Schwarzwald)

We drove just 3 km further and started from the Hirsau district.
First, we went through the wild Schweinbach Valley. Countless rustic stream crossings and romantic paths conveyed Black Forest romance. We didn't meet a soul. The weather was fantastic. 🌞
After the obligatory snack, we continued past sequoia trees, a small sea of rocks, and the Bruderhöhle cave.

March 27, 2025,Schweinbachtal (Trail) Runde um Hirsau

Part 1. Today we took it a little easier. We took the train to Hirsau. From there, we walked along the road and then into the Bärental valley. After about 10 minutes, the scenery became more beautiful, and the further we climbed the Schweinsbach stream, the better it got. If we hadn't constantly heard the nearby federal highway, we could …

May 4, 2023,Schweinbachtal Mammutbäume Bruderhöhle Kloster Hirsau

Found a nice tour again today in the northern Black Forest near Hirsau. I took over a large part from Jungwandern.de.
I parked in the Kurpark
Then we went straight to the Schweinbachtal, which scores with its stone transitions and as a highlight with the stone bridge. I don't know why the further way is called Felsenmeer. But it is …

Today we went to Hirsau in the Northern Black Forest. I had seen @BF 🌲🥾hike🚴‍♂️bike 〽️'s tour through the Schweinbach Valley and knew I absolutely wanted to go there 😍. No sooner said than done 🤗.
We parked in Hirsau near the red deer enclosure. The entrance to the beautiful Schweinbach Valley isn't far from there either. Leaving the last …

October 3, 2021,Wanderung durch das wildromantische Schweinbachtal

Wonderful and beautiful to walk through the Schweinbachtal. Wild and romantic embedded in the middle of nature. I would recommend starting from the Hirsau Monastery parking lot via the game reserve. You walk along the Schweinbach, which you cross from time to time. Unfortunately, the second cold cut from Oberkollbach was no longer quite as impressive. At the level of …

May 29, 2025,Hirsau - Bruderhöhle - Schweinbachtal

From the parking lot near the grounds of the former Hirsau Monastery, the Brudersteige trail leads through the forest up to the Bruderhöhle, a small cave-like rock formation.
See: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruderh%C3%B6hle?wprov=sfla1
Continue along the hill and down into the Kollbachtal valley. Then back up to the plateau and through Oberkollbach. A small, beautiful forest path leads through the sea of rocks …
