    The Windkapf is a popular excursion destination. The route starts from the village square in Schramberg-Tennenbronn and follows a stream before climbing up to the Windkapf. After a short break or refreshment stop, the route continues along the extensive plateau. Here you have a view of the typical Black Forest landscape. Nature, meadows, forests, vast plateaus and proud Black Forest farms alternate on this tour.

    Tennenbronn looks back on a lively history: in 1810, Tennenbronn was divided into "Catholic Tennenbronn" and "Protestant Tennenbronn". Both communities were politically independent. This was the case until 1922, when the two denominationally separate communities were united to form a politically independent municipality. Tennenbronn is the youngest district of Schramberg. The 200 farmsteads in Tennenbronn are proof of the typical Black Forest landscape. The farmers are also landscape conservationists. They carefully and expertly manage their meadows and fields and protect the unique beauty of nature. Meadows, forests, vast plateaus and proud Black Forest farms alternate on our tour. In the climatic health resort of Tennenbronn, you can also indulge yourself in the traditional inns or buy Black Forest specialties directly from the farms. In winter, there are cross-country ski trails ranging from 3 to 19 kilometers in length.

    Author’s recommendation

    Especially beautiful in spring and fall.

    The "Zum Deutschen Jäger" inn on the Windkapf offers a nice place to stop for refreshments.

    Roadbook

    We park at the village square in Tennenbronn (1). Follow the main road with M yellow rhombus R Rathaus, continue to the end of the village. At the WW Tennenbronn Dorfweiher cross the L 175 and at the bus stop walk down to the Dorfweiher and the Schiltach (2). Walk uphill along the river R Bruck past an old house. We stroll along a meadow path above the Schiltach to Bruck. To the bus stop Bruck/Linde on the country road and then to Gasthof Schützen (3). R Schwarzenbach, Windkapf, the route continues below the road on a gravel path along the stream and through pastures to the L 175, which we immediately leave uphill on a forest path. Always with yellow rhombus R Windkapf. Via the L175 up to the Schützenhaus and the farm cheese dairy at the Mooshof (4) with its own sales of sausage, cheese, quark and much more. Hopefully you have some space in your rucksack - or simply stop by again after the tour. Afterwards, enjoy the distant views and pure Black Forest idyll. Enjoy the impressions on the panoramic bench (5). At the last farm, turn right through the farmyard and downhill on a forest path to the tarred road, which we follow to the left at the next crossroads. Here we come to a road again which we follow. At the next large farmstead, we take the road to the left uphill to the K 5530. At the Benzebene stop, we have a great view of the gigantic wind turbines (6). Now we just have to follow the signs to the Gasthof Deutscher Jäger. The Gasthof Deutscher Jäger spoils us with good home cooking (7). After stopping for a bite to eat, we return to WW Kappelwald. On the middle path M red diamond with white line R Benzebene, Oberer Falken. We descend along a forest path past wind turbines to the Benzebene WW. The middle trail runs along a wide, paved forest path across open countryside and through the coniferous forest to the WW Bärenwald. Continue straight ahead across an open clearing. Numerous wind turbines and beautiful mountain formations can be seen in the distance (8). At the WW waymarker now change markings, now M yellow diamond to Judenbosch. Continue downhill to the beautiful plateau with cultivated fields. Now no longer follow the wide path downhill, but go straight on to the barn. Across meadows and along the edge of the forest on a nature trail through the Black Forest landscape. At the edge of the forest, a bench with a wonderful panorama over the Tennenbronn invites you to linger (9). Continue downhill through the Steige settlement. Pass the memorial to the fallen and descend to the village square (1).
