news article Wellness and hiking in the Black Forest

The region around Schluchsee has always been closely associated with hunting and fishing. This hike therefore first leads through the forest, which is currently home to around 500 Black Forest deer, and then down to the lake.

The hiking tour follows narrow paths up the old "Jägerpfad" (hunter's trail) to the Ahaberg and rewards you with an impressive panoramic view over Schluchsee, which, in good weather, extends as far as the Swiss Alps. After the peace and seclusion of the mountain, the descent to the lake shore follows, where the blossoming life on the lakeside path can be felt.

The hike can be ideally combined with a boat trip and a stop at the Unterkrummenhof, as well as refreshing swimming breaks in the lake.

Good to know:

• Duration: approx. 4 hours
• Sturdy shoes recommended
• This tour is not suitable for strollers
• Don't forget your swimwear for a refreshing dip in Schluchsee

The hike begins at the "Haus der Natur" in Feldberg and leads directly to the Feldberg Tower, which requires climbing a few meters in altitude. However, the effort is rewarded with a breathtaking view that stretches from the Zugspitze to Mont Blanc.

Further along the way, you will pass numerous rustic mountain huts. Narrow paths and small bridges also lead to the Raimartihof, which is over 300 years old. Here you can fortify yourself with a hearty Black Forest snack and experience the culinary side of the Black Forest.

Before returning, it is recommended to pause once more at Feldsee and enjoy the silence.
