From Hinterzarten, the route goes back a bit onto the Westweg. The forest begins immediately, and the narrow path meanders along. At the turn-off to Matisleweiher, the Emil-Thoma-Weg is signposted for the first time. After a short section, the path is closed due to logging. I take a track marked by heavy

Today's stage has the most wide forest paths and asphalt. In between, however, there are also beautiful narrow trails. Down to the Titisee, the path runs almost exclusively downhill. Relax your legs.
I start at the Feldbergsattel parallel to the federal highway. Past the Menzenschwandter Hütte, through

After crossing the Weißenbachsattel, the Hochkopf lies on the way. A small detour and I am at the Hochkopfturm. The first tower was built in 1926, restored several times and is only 10 m high, 45 steps. Due to its exposed location at 1,263 m, it doesn't need to be higher. A view to the Feldberg, Belchen

First, I have to go back to the Westweg this morning. A relaxed section, along the panoramic path. Today's planned tour isn't really long, so I'm adding a detour. Who wants to be at the destination at noon? 😉
The Westweg now runs more or less at a constant altitude.
Past the Altensteiner Kreuz. Shortly

From now on, we're heading into the Black Forest. 🥰
From the Hohen Flum, it's no longer really downhill into the valley, but only upwards. I'm starting first to the Johanneshütte and then to the Eichener See. The karst lake only appears temporarily after the snowmelt or longer periods of rain when the

After a wonderful night under God's protection, we first cross the border again. Here I meet the Westweg. Unfortunately, God doesn't mean so well with me anymore, it's raining. It first goes through the forest to Rührberg. Shortly afterwards I reach the Eigenturm, which was built in 2006 and theoretically

I get off the train in Basel a little stiffly after the long journey.
Backpack on and off we go.
I've planned time for sightseeing in Basel at the end of my tour, provided the rest works out.
Today, I'm deliberately doing a short first tour to warm up. Admittedly, also to escape the insane overnight prices

Before heading back to Berlin, my sister and I decide to visit the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. Once around and up to the top. With its 91 m height and approx. 500 steps, it is Europe's largest monument building. Erected in 1913 at the site of the Battle of Nations near Leipzig. Here Napoleon, so to speak

As part of the 7-lake hike, we opted for the anniversary tour this year.
On the Pleiße dam, the path leads into the Leipzig Auwald (floodplain forest), where the wild garlic pampers the eye and nose. Okay, the palate too...😉 Past the Lauer and the Cospudener See to the refreshment/control point in the

From the Wiedener Eck, the path disappears back into the forest through the Westwegportal. I cross ski slopes and hike under ski lifts to the Krinne. Then it goes up in a zigzag on the Belchensteig to the Belchen (1,414 m). The Belchen is the fourth highest mountain in the Black Forest. A beautiful trail
