Genießen Sie den herrlichen Panoramablick von der neu erbauten barrierefreien Aussichtsplattform hinunter zum malerischen Ellbachsee, nach Baiersbronn-Mitteltal und zur Hornisgrinde, mit 1.164 m ü. NN der höchste Berg im Nordschwarzwald.

Vom Besucherzentrum Kniebis sind es nur 1,5 km zum Ellbachseeblick, der Weg ist sehr gut ausgeschildert. Es gibt einen barrierefreien Weg zum Aussichtspunkt, ideal mit Kinderwagen und Rollstuhl, sowie schmalere Fußwege.

Opening times

Aufgrund von Schnee- und Eisglätte ist die Aussichtsplattform "Ellbachseeblick" über den Winter hinweg gesperrt.
