Scenic route over the Belchen. On this route, we pass through charming cultural landscapes, a nature reserve, and the core zone of the biosphere reserve, where the forest becomes enchantingly troll-like. We walk on both wide service roads and beautiful paths that are well marked almost everywhere. There are also some slightly exposed sections where we need to be a bit careful (T2). There are repeatedly beautiful – and wonderful – views.

    Eine lohnenswerte Wanderung auf einfach begehbaren Waldpfaden! Der zauberhafte kleine Letzbergweiher ist aber auf jeden Fall einen Abstecher mit Pause wert. Es sind genug Bänke vorhanden! Anschließend hat man noch einen tollen Ausblick, bevor man wieder in den Wald gelangt und dem urigen Pfad zurück nach Schönau folgt. Mit der Beschreibung des Autors bin ich dann allerdings nicht mehr klargekommen. 🤔 Ich habe mich anhand der Karte orientiert.

    Herrliche Tour, vor allem die Aussicht und der wunderschöne Letzbergweiher. Es ist an manchen Stellen Trittsicherheit empfehlenswert.

    Phantastische Rundum-Aussicht vom Belchen, die Schweizer Alpen über einem Nebelmeer und auch der Mont Blanc war zu sehen. Viel Abwechslung inkl. wunderbarem Schwarzwald. Vorwiegend schöne Wege und Pfade. Tlw. sind aber Wege wie bei der Tour geplant, so nicht mehr möglich, weil gesperrt. Die letzten 2,5 km wieder bergauf auf dem breiten Weg waren nicht so schön.

    Die ersten km sind mit Ausnahme der Tiere etwas monoton...dafür entschädigt das Stück ab der Talstation der Seilbahn wieder alles...mega Aussichten, tolle alpine Pfade im Abstieg

    Die ersten 4, 5 Kilometer fanden wir etwas monoton, doch dann nahm der Weg "Fahrt" auf: Tolle Blicke vom Belchen-Gipfel, herrliche Pfade... Da hat die Tour auf der zweiten Hälfte die Auszeichnung zum schönsten Wanderweg Deutschlands doch noch gerechtfertigt.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Wanderung, bei der man dem „Verkehr“ auf dem Belchensteig etwas entgehen kann. Der Abstieg nach Schönau „zieht sich“, ist aber sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr gute Busverbindung zurück zum Wiedener Eck. Tipps: Früh losgehen, dann ist auf dem Belchenhaus noch nicht zu viel los. In Schönau unbedingt ein Stück Schwarzwäder Kirsch in der Backerei Gutmann probieren.

    Wir haben die Tour gestern gemacht und ich muss sagen sie ist echt top. Ich kann die zum Teil negativen Bewertungen hier gar nicht verstehen, aber das gibt es ja leider immer öfter, sobald man einen Teil der Strecke auf breiteren Wegen zurück legen muss. Wir werden sie definitiv wieder machen, aber dann gegen die empfohlene Richtung, da wie glauben, dass der Anstieg über die Krinne noch schöner ist. Die Tour ist top ausgeschildert und die Ausblicke einfach nur sagenhaft. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Tour.
