The Great Schluchsee Circuit is an approx. 20 km circular hike in the heart of the Black Forest. The route leads along the shore, through shady forests and offers impressive views of the lake and the surrounding mountains time and again. There are numerous rest stops along the way, natural highlights such as the Amalienruhe and informative panels on the flora and fauna of the region.
The tour is ideal for experienced hikers who are looking for a longer but technically easy route with a varied landscape.
The starting and finishing point is at the Wolfsgrund campsite, which is idyllically situated directly on the Schluchsee lake. The perfect start for this varied hike - if you stay overnight at the campsite, you don't have to travel any further!
Author’s recommendation
Make a stop at the Amalienruhe at the beginning or end of the tour - the viewpoint offers one of the most beautiful views over the entire Schluchsee.
