    Einer der schönsten Wanderungen während 10 Tagen im Schwarzwald: Traumhafte Ausblicke, gepflegte Tannenwälder, hervorragende Wege mit vielen Bänken, keinesfalls mörderisch, schöne Einkehrmöglichkeit. Leider ist der Weg - Visitenkarte des Schwarzwald - nirgends besonders hervorgehoben (Premiumweg etc.) und auch nicht gekennzeichnet. Was für ein Versäumnis! Eigentlich sollte er ein "Genießerpfad" sein. Also, unbedingt machen!

    The nicest walk that we have done around here! Very walkable paths and good views with great variety. The first part of the route is not indicated by signage, so checking the route with the GPS in the app is recommended (works like a charm). We came across a number of cyclists and only 1 hiker. Tip: On ~40% of the route there is the "Schlossberg herberge", which is amazingly scenic - can recommend.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour. Vor allem die Ruhe im Wald und die zahlreichen Ausblicke sind mir in Erinnerung. Wanderstöcke waren für Abstiege sehr hilfreich.

    Wir sind 4 von 5 Etappen vom 29.05 bis zum 01.06.2025 gelaufen. Etappe 1: Haslach iK - Hohenhäuser, ca. 17 km Bis zur Grabkapelle von Hansjakob lieblicher Blick ins Kinzigtal, danach überwiegend Waldwege, ab und an Ausblicke ins Tale und auf malerische Höfe. Einkehr im Biergarten der Munde Biereck empfehlenswert, Übernachtung im Höhengasthof Zum Kreuz. Etappe 2: Hohenhäuser - Zell aH, ca. 25 km Bis Steinach überwiegend durch dichten Wirtschaftswald, ab und an oberhalb von Wiesen. Einkehr in Steinach gut möglich, der steile Aufstieg parallel zu der stark befahrenen Straße an der Kinzig ist mit Abstand der schwächste Abschnitt der Runde. Etappe 3: Zell aH - Brandenkopf, ca. 19 km Der Biergarten vom Vogt auf Mühlstein war schon um 12 Uhr überlaufen, der Abschnitt entlang der Bahnstrecke durch Oberharmersbach zieht sich etwas, erst Recht aber der Anstieg auf den Brandenkopf auf breiten Forstwegen scheint kein Ende zu nehmen. Etappe 4: Brandenkopf - Wolfach, ca. 12 km Insgesamt schönster Abschnitt der Tour parallel zum Westweg! Einkehr in der Hohenlocher Hütte ist unbedingt zu empfehlen! Der Abstieg vom Brandenkopf erfolgt überwiegend auf Pfaden und schmalen Wegen. Ab Wolfach ist stündlich eine Rückfahrt nach Haslach mit der Bahn möglich. Wir müssten die Tour hier bereits wegen eines Wetterumschwungs abbrechen. Ein Besuch im Hansjakob-Museum bietet sich an! Ca. 1 - 1,5 Std reichen bereits für den Rundgang im Erdgeschoss aus.

    Eine wunderschöne Rundwanderung. Dass sie die meiste Zeit auf Forstwegen verläuft stört nicht weiter. Die Weitblicke, wie aus dem Bilderbuch, lenken ab ;-)

    Der Name ist Programm! 😊👍 Wir laufen die Stecke mittlerweile wieder mehrmals im Jahr. Früher als Kinder mit den Eltern. Mittlerweile als Eltern, Onkel o. Tante mit der nächsten Generation 😊. Dank der Bewirtung am Sonntag gibt's dann am Ziel (Schirrmaier Hütte) die verdiente Wurst und ein kühles Radler.
