    The tour starts at the cemetery in Bonndorf, where there is ample parking available. An inspiring themed trail unfolds along the Philosophers' Trail, which invites you to pause, reflect and marvel at quotes from great poets. Gentle hills, wide meadows and the fresh Black Forest air make every step a pleasure. Marvellous views over Bonndorf and the surrounding countryside always offer new perspectives and invite you to linger. A special highlight is the nearby deer enclosure, which is particularly popular with children, as well as the calisthenics course, which offers a sporty change of pace. Quiet seating areas along the trail invite you to consciously enjoy the surroundings and savour the moment. The route is family-friendly and easy to walk, combines nature, culture and exercise in an ideal way and makes the Philosopher's Path an all-round varied, inspiring experience for all age groups - ideal for a relaxed half-day excursion into nature.
