Mittelweg western variant Stage 8: Lenzkirch - Häusern

The stage begins in Lenzkirch at the town hall and follows the federal road for a short distance before turning right onto Bühlstraße and continuing uphill to the waypoint Am Geopark (Geological Trail). Here you have a beautiful view of the high valley of Lenzkirch. At the fork at the waypoint Parkplatz Fuchsfarm, keep right and go uphill through the forest to the waypoints Hinterhäuser and Waldhöfe. Here the western and eastern variants of the Mittelweg split.

On the western variant, turn right at the waypoint Waldhöfe and continue to the waypoints Vogelhaus and Riesenbühlweg. Here a detour to the Riesenbühlturm with a wonderful panoramic view of the Schluchsee and its surroundings is worthwhile. Shortly thereafter we reach the outskirts of Schluchsee below a hotel and the waypoint Schluchsee/Rathaus. Through the Kirchsteige, continue to the waypoint Alte Schmiede and on forest paths to the waypoint Kohlgrube. There the path leads across the federal road and shortly thereafter over the railway line on a bridge at the Seehotel Hubertus to Seebrugg station. At the waypoints Seebrugg/Jugendherberge and Seebrugg/B500, respectively, keep right and walk for a while between the lakeshore and federal road. Between the waypoints Schluchsee/Dam, the path crosses the dam and then leads left downhill to Eisenbreche. Via the waypoints Blasiwald/Sommerseite, Blasiwald/Straße, Blasiwald Althütte, it goes uphill to the waypoint Am Schmalzberg and further on a pleasantly walkable forest road gently downhill via the waypoints Sandgrube and Rotrütte to the waypoint Wittlisberger Chapel. From there it goes via the waypoints Scheuerrain and Häusern/Alte Post down to the waypoint Häusern and over the B500 into St.Fridolin-Straße to the town hall, the stage destination.
