May 18, 2025,Blindensee und über die Brücke der Elz

Another wonderful tour through a beautiful part of the Black Forest 😊 The Blindsee lake with its boardwalk is the highlight! The paths are sometimes narrow, but mostly wide.

Today I should plan a route of about 10km. Without high mountains, plenty of shade, streams for Chester to cool off in, and a cafe for cold drinks. It's not so easy here in the Black Forest, but it's doable 👍

June 9, 2025,Elzwasserfälle – Blindensee Runde von Schönwald

A very beautiful route with many quiet paths. Despite the fact that the hiking parking lot was quite full (it was Whit Monday and the weather was perfect), there were a relatively large number of quiet and less busy paths. A relatively steep climb initially, but then a very manageable elevation gain.

After the Blindensee I kept passing very idyllic landscape sections. In terms of the path, it was …

Free parking 🅿️ at the hairpin bend of the L109 Elzfälle. The premium hiking trail

There are houses and holiday …
