Yesterday I was a participant in a circular hike in Michelbach.
Beautiful tour with some great views of the "mountains" around Michelbach and the half-timbered village itself.

January 6, 2024,Gaggenau-Michelbach: Michelbacher Rundweg

Despite the drizzle, we had to go on a long hike on Epiphany to get some fresh air. The choice fell on the Michelbacher Rundweg, see michelbacher-rundweg.de and rundwegfreunde-michelbach.de/index.php/der-rundweg

First of all: due to forestry work, I would not recommend the path at the moment, unless you ignore barriers (which you shouldn't do on weekdays) and tolerate a muddy path …

Today I wanted to go for a relaxed run and this morning I accidentally found this tour at @Martin.

What luck because the round is a real pearl! Although the nature of the paths themselves was not outstanding, the variety of landscapes, the really great panoramas and the many brief information boards were really a pleasure!

Went the Michelbacher Rundweg again today. Always nice with great impressions. Last year we took a shortcut and went through the village -> beautiful town center -> komoot.de/tour/357005056 Today after the cold snap at the weekend it was a bit chilly and also extremely windy. The many benches at the edge of the path were inviting but still not really …

A gourmet circular trail - lovely restaurants in Michelbach, and the entire route is lined with fruit trees and berry bushes.
We rarely experience such a panoramic view along the trail; this time, it's just a few kilometers through the forest with no view. The paths are a bit wider, but you can still enjoy the view and snack from …

Today was a beautiful day. Since our son and his wife were with us, we hiked. The trail around Michelbach is highly recommended and worthwhile. Stunning views, beautiful forest paths, sometimes in the shady forest or along fields and meadows with glorious sunshine.

So...now it's time for some delicious food.
