To the king of the Black Forest mountains, the "Brandenkopf"
A hiking route to the highest mountain in the Middle Kinzig Valley with over 26 kilometers, which can also be split into two day stages.
Along a still quite original Black Forest valley, the "Einbach", the route leads to the Friends of Nature house "Lassgrund". The "Brandenkopf" is the highest elevation in the Kinzig Valley. Its observation tower offers an excellent panoramic view. Many charming views are offered by the section on the ridge between the Harmersbach and Fischerbach.
