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.

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

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
