Heiße Westhofener Wingertsheisjer-Wanderung im Wonnegau
Westhofen ist besuchenswert - nicht nur wegen der Wingertsheisjer. Und die Westhofener lieben offenbar ihren Seebach und das große Schlagerspektakel.

The Rheinhessen experience magazine recommends for this tour: "You should definitely take a bottle of Rheinhessen wine with you." I took it a bit more moderately and first dedicated myself to the architecture.
The vineyards around Westhofen offer not only fine wine, but also many listed vineyard houses

During a guided tour through the Olydorf, you can still learn new things.
The Olympic Village was created from 57 different designs in an open planning process – and was at the same time a pioneering achievement in prefabricated construction with precast concrete elements. The irony: the experiment ended

Haiming is an Eldorado for rafting and canyoning. But climbers also like to come here.
The Geierwand near Haiming is a quite young and 800-meter-long via ferrata, difficulty A to C. The approach takes only a few minutes - under the motorway, and you're already at the rock face. Mostly it goes steeply

A via ferrata after a long time! We did this tour to the Wankspitze in the Mieminger Kette with the DAV, a good decision, as refreshing basic knowledge never hurts and the responsible and likeable guidance was a real asset.
The approach to the via ferrata from Gasthaus Arzkasten is quite long and the

Initially, it was leisurely down in the valley: a bit too much asphalt, hardly any hiking trails - basically cycling path hiking. Then up to the St. Wendelinkapelle. From there, I made the final sprint towards Freiburg via the St. Ottilien inn and the Schlossberg on pleasant hiking trails. A detour to

After admiring the large and small cuckoo clocks, we headed from Titisee towards Hinterzarten. You can take the path along the Zartenbach there. Restoration measures seem to be taking place there. However, no further details can be found.
Today, the Black Forest and I got along better: long, path-like

From the Wutach, it went past the Rötenbachschlucht into the Haslachschlucht. The spectacular rock gate at the Rechenfelsen - a real photo magnet - is now somewhat buried by fallen tree trunks. The view was still freer on my gorge tour a good year ago.
After that, it became strenuous: over a distance

The Wutach Gorge is considered the "Grand Canyon of the Black Forest" and is up to 200 m deep. After the ice age, the Wutach completely changed its course: originally a tributary of the Danube, it has since flowed to the Rhine, a so-called river capture.😀 The climate is mild and humid, so plants grow

Since my accommodation is in Donaueschingen, I've planned a detour via the Gauchachschlucht, which awaits me tomorrow along with the Wutachschlucht.
At the beginning in Blumberg, I also visited the Schleifenbachwasserfälle, which the Querweg does not take into account. It was still quite unspectacular

First, I had to pay a visit to the town hall in Singen: The council chamber houses the only surviving mural by Otto Dix from 1960. Theopont Diez (1908–1993), Singen's first mayor after the war, commissioned the work and pushed it through against the resistance of the city council. He was convinced that

The will was there, to climb some of the volcanic mountains, but the realization came quite quickly given the planned 30 km at 30 degrees Celsius. 😅 And only with a good breakfast enhanced, there was no million to win either. So I left the first two hills straight away (even though the Hohentwiel would

I climbed one of them right at the beginning: The Homburg castle ruins lie on the volcano of the same name. The Hegau is geologically, historically, and biologically unique in Germany. The volcanic vents formed around 14 million years ago and offered perfect natural castle rocks – the Hegau is one of

After I had rejoined the Querweg from Dingelsdorf, I continued straight along Lake Constance. That was the real highlight of the day: shaded by beeches, maples, and lindens, crossing streams that repeatedly opened up views into small gorges, the anticipation was high when I finally came across the Marienschlucht

Querweg Freiburg-Bodensee the wrong way round - today starting in Constance.
Backwards and always a bit off the route, as it happens.
After a much too long train journey (if only I had taken the Flixbus...) I at least arrived in Constance in style by ship. I quickly left the tourist crowds behind me and

Dampfnudel-Bratwurst, Rhenish tapas or Spundekäs with pretzel and many other delicacies had the flyer for this year's Trullo bike tour around Monsheim promised – and the wine flowed, of course, in streams. Was that why the route was so perfectly signposted? You just had to follow the markings.
