Safety information
Important Note:As every year our 3 premium hiking trails “Himmelssteig”, “Schwarzwaldsteig” and “Wiesensteig” are taking a winter break until the beginning of April!
In the winter months the hiking trails are recovering. During this time the trails won’t get cleared from snow – the water passages can be slippery and there are owners of forests which are doing work inside the woods too. We would like to remind you to avoid “Schwarzwälder Wandersinphonie” during this period.
Thank you for your understanding!

Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The approach to the mountain inn offers another great experience, because first you leave the wide forest path, follow an uphill path up to the edge of the forest and finally conquer a knoll in the open meadow landscape. Now a grandiose panorama (7) spreads out ahead! Below is the Braunbergstüble, which invites you to stop for a break, while the Schwarzwaldsteig leads over springy meadow around a nose and always opens up new perspectives. To top this section there is also an inviting heavenly lounger.
But the subsequent forest passage to the Wendelsberg is also varied. After crossing the forest again, you arrive at the Urbanskreuz and hike downhill over a cherry tree meadow. Especially in spring this section is a real feast for the eyes and there is a lot of buzzing in the air when busy bees collect nectar.
After the descent is complete, turn right at the lower edge of the forest and return to the high forest. There the path forks a little later and the logos point to the left. Gradually the noises of the Renchtal penetrate your ears and you gently approach everyday life again. As the wide path becomes increasingly steep, you can switch to a serpentine path on the left at a bank, which loops in height and leads to a stream. Next to the stream, follow the path further down until you come to a forest path. Here the markings point to the right to the nearby Kneipp facility (8). At the next fork in the road, keep left downhill. When you reach the first house, the path bends back to the left into the forest, but at the next signpost it finally goes right out of the forest. At the bridge over the railway you come to the street, which you follow left down to the nearby train station (S).
