Mathisle Pond

Highlight • Lake

A small, idyllic bog lake between Hinterzarten and Feldsee. Located in the middle of the nature reserve, it is only accessible on foot or by bike - luckily! Wonderfully quiet and beautiful. Perfect for a little break!

Beautiful view of the Feldberg, with the opportunity to take a chilled drink from the "Milchhisli" for a little change.

A nice relaxed tour.
Unfortunately, the path also runs on many forest roads. Overall, it's still fun to run. At the drinks station there is also punch and mulled wine during the current season 😎

Today I decided to go on a tour despite the not so great weather. But I had something to do beforehand. As I found a key 🔑 for the Parkhotel Adler Hinterzarten on the train yesterday, I stopped by to return it. If I was just at the reception and received a drink as a thank you, it was an …

The first tour in the Black Forest. With many breaks, the tour could be completed despite all the hardships.
And the tour is an absolute recommendation. Many highlights and great paths. This is how hiking should be!

With the train from Donaueschingen to Hinterzarten, and then hiked the beautiful Säbelthoma Rundweg, in tropical temperatures.

Hiking with a refreshing dip. The tour leads through the forest, across meadows, and to ponds. At the Mathisleweiher pond, the hardiest of enthusiasts can plunge into the cool water (even the hardiest of enthusiasts can do so in their own costume...😅).

June 29, 2023,Genießerpfad - Säbelthomaweg

Unfortunately, I have to say that the Säbelthomaweg after apparently extensive forestry work no longer has anything in common with a premium path or with a leisurely hike. The majority of the round is completed on more or less wide gravel roads. I estimate that the natural parts of the trail are less than two kilometers in total. The last …

Directions:

I call that a relaxed round. From start to finish you are on beautiful and varied paths here. The path is named after Thomas Steiert, who was the village policeman in 1823. In his office he always wore a saber as part of his uniform, so that he was soon known only as the "saber thoma". There are therefore …

As most of you know, Philia is a real Black Forest girl. What could be more natural to use this beautiful holiday and late summer day for a trip to the Black Forest.
To be more precise, to Hinterzarten. There we decided to take the Säbelthomaweg connoisseur path.
This usually leads through pleasantly shady forest and past two lakes and …
