Today's hike began in crisp, cold temperatures and brilliant sunshine. The starting point was St. Märgen, right in the center of town. After just a few meters, it was clear: cold fingers, but a feast for the eyes.
The trail led out of town along quiet paths and gentle inclines, first through open fields

Today's hike takes us from Waldkirch to Hohenhäusern. The start is cold, with temperatures well below zero, but the weather turns sunny quite early on, and the visibility is excellent. Right from the beginning, the trail climbs steeply up to Kastelburg Castle – a good way to warm up.
After the ascent

Today we continue along the Kandelhöhenweg trail, from St. Peter to Waldkirch. The path climbs steadily towards the Kandel mountain. The elevation gain is consistent, without becoming particularly challenging.
As you ascend, the views across the Black Forest repeatedly open up. It's worth pausing now

Today I'm starting my hike on the Kandelhöhenweg trail – and in glorious autumn weather. The stage officially begins at the Schwabentor gate, but I'm starting a bit earlier, directly at Freiburg train station. This way, I walk through the city center, past the town hall and the little streams (Bächle

Finally vacation and dream weather. But almost too hot for hiking. That's why we left very early today in the direction of the northern Black Forest for a dream tour around the Gertelsbach waterfalls.
Getting up early was worth it, we had the falls all to ourselves.
First, the path led us on wildly romantic

Now that it's nice and light in the evening again, laps after the work is done are finally possible again.
The starting point today is at the Kohlerhof hiking car park below the restaurant "Zum Kohler" (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays)
The first half of the tour went on wide forest paths through the middle

The Hotzenpfad in the southern Black Forest offers both beautiful natural highlights and cultural and historical sites.
The starting point is the free hiking car park near Rickenbach. From here it goes a short distance on a wide meadow path before entering the shady (Hotzen) forest. After the first kilometer

Since I was only able to start in the afternoon today and the weather forecast showed significantly cooler temperatures than the last few days, but still promised a lot of sun, the criteria for choosing today's hike were: lots of forest and water.
The starting point was the free car park right next to

We actually wanted to end our vacation in Tyrol today with a hike from Ellmau to the Rübezahl Alm. But in Ellmau there were already a lot of hikers in the morning, so we resorted to plan B: the Teufelsklamm near Pillersee. This is a very small, little-known gorge. In fact, there were very few hikers

The starting point is the free hiking car park. First we follow the children's adventure trail Moore and More with its interesting stations for a while before we turn towards Diebsöfen / Schleierbach waterfall. After a short time, the wide forest path turns into a great, stony, narrow path, which we

A dreamy classic.
From the Harschbichl mountain station, the first climb was on the Jägersteig with a moderate incline on the imposing Horn. The view was gigantic, both on the Horn and on the surrounding pastures and mountains. After a good kilometer it went up steeply over a cow pasture. We even spotted

The Wilder Kaiser was hiding behind the low-lying clouds today. He couldn't be seen from our hut at all. But since the days here are slowly coming to an end, I set out anyway.
The start today was again the Wochenbrunner Alm. From here we went again on the wide gravel path to the Gaudeamushütte. But here

My rather adventurous tour started today at the Griesener Alm, just like a few days before. The first 1.3 km ran on the same path as before to the Stripsenjochkopf. Then the path pointed into the forest and then led in countless serpentines up the stony path between the majestic rocks.
I met one person

I've been looking forward to this day trip for weeks. It was on my list of things I would like to see and experience: see a glacier before there aren't any more. Where is that better than in Austria?
Guided tours with the ranger are offered on the glacier on Thursdays. We were the only ones who signed

Today, in crisp -8°C weather but with brilliant sunshine, I set off from Staufen into the Markgräfler vineyards.
From Staufen train station, the path leads quietly through the town and along the Neumagen stream before gradually climbing towards Grunern. The vineyards lie dormant in winter, the paths are
