Highlight • Viewpoint

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

Inspired by @Barbara & 🐾 and @Nicolet (many thanks to the girls 👍 🙋🏻‍♂️), on my first day in the Black Forest 🌲, I headed to Hornberg for a "short" loop ♻️ with a few insignificant meters of elevation ↗️😉.

Sunday hike: Hornberg (Schwarzwaldbahn), a figure eight around the Immelsbacherhöhe

Today I just started planning my oldest tour and drove to Hornberg. Above the train station, it goes into the forest to the Gesundbrunnen hiking car park, where the start and finish was.
