The valley hike through the idyllic Waldprechtstal combines quiet nature trails with exciting discoveries along the way. On varied paths, you hike through dense forests, past meadows, and small views into the Murgtal open again and again, inviting a short break.

The highlight of the tour awaits at the Mahlbergturm: After the ascent, wide panoramic views open from the viewing platform over the Black Forest heights, the Murgtal, and as far as the Rhine valley.

Along the way, the Waldprechtstal shows itself from its water-rich side: Several fountains line the path and tell of the long tradition of springs in the valley. You pass a classic schnapps fountain, the Hildebrand fountain, as well as the Otterberg spring with its stone fountain. A historic water channel also reminds how important water has always been here.

This hike combines nature enjoyment, views, and regional history into an experience for all who want to actively discover the valley.

Author’s recommendation

There are no refreshment facilities on the tour. It is recommended to pack your own backpack snack and sufficient drinks.
