    Your hiking trail leads you up to the Ahaberg on the old "hunter's path". Continue along the historic "Grenzweg" to the Bildstein. A geological rarity for the southern Black Forest awaits you there - and a unique view: on a clear day, you can see across the lake to the 3,614-metre-high Tödi in the Swiss Alps. After the descent, you return from Aha along the shore of the Schluchsee. It may be that two worlds collide here: First lonely paths in the woods and then the busy lakeside path. But solitude can also be found here: Early in the morning, when the sun rises over the lake, or on foggy November days, when the lake unfolds a magic all of its own.

    Author’s recommendation

    Combine this section of the Jägersteig from Aha to Schluchsee with a tour of the lake and a stop at the Unterkrummenhof.
    If you like the cool water, don't forget your swimming gear. There are plenty of opportunities to cool off on the lake shore.

    Roadbook

    We start our tour from the hiker’s parking lot “Im Wolfsgrund”. Alternatively we could start at the train station in Schluchsee-Aha (information board at the Seglerheim junction). From the parking lot “Im Wolfsgrund”, we walk under the B500 underpass, follow the hiking trail to the left, and cross the L156 to Lenzkirch. After crossing, we then take the hike and bike path along Freiburger Straße (B500). After a short distance, the entry to Schluchsee’s Hunter’s Hike [Jägersteig] comes into view. At this point, we enter the Bannwald forest and follow the narrow path past a woodyard until we come up to a cabin. From here, we walk to the Hanselefelsen, a crag, turn left, and continue on a wider path. After a short walk, the sensational view comes into sight! After crossing over Ahaberg, we follow the path in the direction of Bildstein. On this part of the hike, we can either continue on the direct route to Bildstein or explore the newly created “Pirschpfad”. At the lookout point Bildstein, the view of Schluchsee is exhilarating. After a rest and with renewed energy, we embark on our descent to Unteraha by means of a narrow path. The path takes us to a boat dock, where we walk along the lake until we reach Amalienruhe. This headland offers a fine view across the lake. To round off, the tour takes us to the town of Schluchsee, where we cross the pedestrian bridge to get to the other side of the train tracks. From here, we walk past Café am See, back to the parking lot for hikers.
