From Biberach train station we hike east to the swimming pool, then further (south) over Schönberg, the Paulischanze and Bergach, through the Koppenwald to Dantersbach, the Engelsgraben to Einach and further over the rear Hüttersbach and the Abtsberg through the beautiful town of Gengenbach to the train station.
The Siebentälerweg leads through the small side valleys on the north side of the Kinzig Valley from Biberach to Gengenbach. The view is towards the south or west and offers magnificent views of the middle Kinzig Valley.

Roadbook
The starting point is the train station in Biberach (Baden). From there we follow the yellow lozenge to Gengenbach, with the black T on green background as our guide. At the swimming pool we initially stay on a paved road towards Schönberg. Soon a first rest may be taken at the Luisenhütte. On a wide forest path we now hike through high forest and after about 4.5 km arrive at Schönberg with a resting place under a memorial cross. The locations Roßgraben and Tännich finally lead us to the Paulischanze with the Paulihütte towering above the Kinzig Valley. The view down into the front Kinzig Valley reveals the beauties of the Central Black Forest. Passing Am Fohrenbühl we walk over Bergach/Rittersgrund and above the Bergach settlement reach the locations Bergach/Koppenwald, Blumenau, Dantersbach, Müllers Halde, Schwaibachtal and the Engelsgraben. Then we reorient ourselves at Einach as Gengenbach is now within sight. Upper Hüttersbach and Rear Hüttersbach lead us to Abtsberg and the Portiuncula chapel with a magnificent view of Gengenbach. Only a few hundred metres more lead into the historic old town of Gengenbach. We pass the locations Im Baumgarten, An der Stirn, Eckkapelle, Am Sozebuckel and Am oberen Tor and enjoy the sight of lovingly restored half-timbered houses. After a city tour we follow the sign to the train station to start the journey back to Biberach.
