The cherry blossom on the Berghauser Matten Year after year, when spring arrives, over 100 cherry trees on the slopes of the Berghauser Matten between Wittnau and Ebringen unfurl a carpet of white blossom. Orchards then become a feast for the eyes. Stretched out in deckchairs or on blankets, this sensory frenzy is best enjoyed. Right in the middle: the Berghaus pilgrimage chapel, built in 1748. It is the destination of our tour, which is not only worthwhile in spring.

Valley hike between the Black Forest and the Foreland zone The name Hexental has nothing to do with witches in the valley. "Hags" is the root word, probably of Celtic origin. It means something like fence, hedge, active: enclosing. This gets us closer to the matter. Hedges and enclosures can be found everywhere in the Hexental. Pasture areas, horse paddocks, and orchards on gentle hills shape the harmonious overall structure. Small villages fit in. We make our round through this picture-book landscape counterclockwise, always with the sun at our back.

Three stages of the historic long-distance hiking trail in the Markgräfler LandAlready in the Middle Ages, it was one of the most important hiking and trade routes in Breisgau. Many farmers brought their products from the Markgräfler Land to the market in Freiburg on the Beggar's Path. The path was not named after one of the many begging monks who lived in their cloisters at the edge of the forest, but after a craftsman (who was also called a beggar by the population at that time) who died of hypothermia overnight near the Hauerhof in Au during the harsh winter of 1870. Of the total five stages of this long-distance hiking trail between Freiburg and Badenweiler, we focus on the three most beautiful ones, which lead us through scenic towns, cultural and natural landscapes in the Hexental.

    Sehr schöne, aber anspruchsvolle Tour. Gute Kondition notwendig, wenn man sie in 3 Etappen läuft. Landschaftlich sehr abwechslungsreich, von Weinbergen, kleinen Dörfchen, Burgruinen, Wälder, Tal und Wiese ist alles dabei. Immer wieder Highlights unterwegs, die man aber selbst mitnehmen muss. Der offizielle Zähringer Weg geht oft dran vorbei.

    Mittelschwere Wanderung für die wir genau 3 Stunden ohne Pausen benötigt haben. Das zweite Drittel eher unspektakulär durch den Wald, dafür schöne Ausblicke zu Beginn und im letzten Drittel über das Rheintal, Endingen, Sölden, Wittnau und Horben.
