    Follow the trail of the traditional Bollenhut, a headgear that has been part of the women's costume in Gutach, Kirnbach, and Reichenbach since about 1750. Cycle on to Hornberg, but "caution!": According to the story of the Hornberg shooting, visitors were once greeted here with gunpowder and heavy artillery.

    Author’s recommendation

    Straw is needed to make the Bollenhut. One of the straw makers wandered after her death. She was eventually trapped in an egg buried under a rock.

    Gutach – Fohrenbühl 18.2 km

    • The route starts at the sports hall in Gutach.
    • From there, follow the B33 to Hornberg. After about 1 km, turn left into the district Am Bühl and on the street "Sonnenberg" to Vor-Ebersbach.
    • Briefly back on the B33 then turn left into "Obertalweg" and after the bridge turn right, along the street "Am Kindergarten" following the Gutach river.
    • Turn right into "Hohweg" to Hornberg.
    • Go straight over the bridge, past the church to the main street. Turn left uphill on this and straight through the railway viaduct.
    • About 500 m ahead, half right into "Schwanenbacher Straße".
    • Past Schindelloch and Wolfbauernhof steadily uphill to the T-junction on the saddle.
    • Turn left there and at the hiking parking lot turn right into the forest, follow the gravel path to Oberreichenbach (watch for MTB and hiking trail signs).

    Fohrenbühl - Kirnbach 8.8 km (27.0 km)

    • Straight across the main street and before the hiking parking lot turn left. (Tip: Straight uphill—the extra few meters to the tower and the view are worth it.)
    • At the Mooswald farm, follow the street parallel to the slope to the right around the curve, and at the three-way junction after passing through the forest, turn right towards Moosenmättle.
    • At the forest fork, follow the district road down to the left towards Kirnbach and about 300 m further, at the pond, turn left and pass the Simmishansenhof and Kreuzhof through the "Grafenloch" downhill to Kirnbach.

    Kirnbach - Gutach 9.5 km (36.5 km)

    • Follow Talstraße through Vor Kirnbach. About 200 m after crossing the tracks, turn left and cross the Kinzig river. After the bridge, turn left and follow the Kinzig Valley bike trail towards Hausach.
    • At the bike trail junction after crossing the Kinzig, continue straight towards Gutach.
    • Then turn left to Breithauptshof and there right (after the gas station) into "Hirschgasse". After going under the tracks, turn left and follow them for about 3 km.
