    Route description

    Karlsruhe-Weststadt - Durlach station - Grötzingen - Berghausen - Söllingen - Kleinsteinbach - Singen - Remchingen - Nöttingen - Keltern - Weiler - Hochmühle - Hardthof - Ittersbach - Pfinz source - Ittersbach - Spielberg - Etzenrot - Reichenbach - Grünwettersbach - Hohenwettersbach - Bergwald - Zündhütle - Oberwald - Tiergartenbrücke - Karlsruhe-Weststadt

    The "source" is indicated on maps as the confluence of some spring brooks, which emerge as seepage sources in the wet meadows above the valley. So there is not really a source or a well to be found there; moreover, this point cannot be reached on a path, but only by moving from the last bridge along the Pfinz across the meadows and through the forest.

    Author’s recommendation

    At Erlach or Oberwaldsee you can comfortably end the route in the evening.
