Wonderful, varied hike to Staufenberg Castle with its sun terrace, which offers a fantastic panoramic view. From the 383-meter-high mountain ridge, you can look over the forest-covered Black Forest hills and vineyards to the Rhine Valley, and from there to Strasbourg Cathedral and the Vosges Mountains. Catering on the terrace (self-service), wine sales with tasting room, and a farm shop offer additional enjoyment.

You can also reverse the route; this way you have a steep ascent at the beginning and the Wolfsgrube inn with animal park in the last third.
