    The Sulzkar offers a mysterious natural beauty and a special kind of hike where you can marvel at impressive rock formations. The circular route leads from Lautenhof to Sulzkar, then to Grünhütte, and back to Lautenhof along the Rollwasserbach.

    From the starting point at the Lautenhof parking lot, the route follows the Wannenweg. Before turning left into the forest, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Lautenhof pond. The route continues uphill on a gravel forest path. After about 2 km there is a left turn that leads to Sulzkar. A sign is posted on the gravel forest path so you can’t miss the turnoff. Then a narrow trail leads through the Sulzkar, where you can marvel at impressive rock formations. The cirque is about 12,000 years old and offers spectacular insights into nature. Once at the top, follow the Wannebene sign, which leads back to the gravel forest path. Continue on gravel forest paths toward Grünhütte. There you can take a rest. After a cozy break, you return to Lautenhof via a different path. Above Grünhütte, take the forest path toward Schäferweghütte/Lautenhof. After a few minutes you reach the Schäferweghütte. There turn left and take the path down. After descending along the Rollwasser, you reach the starting point Lautenhof again at the end of the beautiful route, where a small detour to the Lautenhof pond is possible. Parking at Lautenhof is possible, but the path is not stroller-friendly and requires some skill, fitness, and surefootedness.

    Author’s recommendation

    Stop at the Grünhütte hiking hut. The blueberry pancake there is highly recommended!
