Blumberg lies at the foot of the southern Black Forest and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. The town is close to the Swiss border and offers a wide range of leisure activities for all ages. Although it is a small town, it has a lot to offer - from historic buildings to breathtaking nature parks.

One of the most famous attractions in Blumberg is the Schwarzwaldbahn Railway Museum (Eisenbahnmuseum). Here you can marvel at old steam locomotives or even take a ride on a historic train. Another highlight are the ruins of Hohenschramberg Castle from the 13th century.

For those interested in culture, there are many options such as the local history museum or Bonndorf Castle with its impressive collection of artworks from different eras.

When it comes to culinary delights, you should definitely try local dishes such as "Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte" or "Maultaschen". Regional wines are also very popular with tourists.

In summer you can do various outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or canoeing in the Black Forest river. In winter, you can go skiing and snowboarding nearby.

If it rains, there are still many activities to discover. For example, visit the Blumberg swimming pool or take a tour of the town with a guide.

Where is the most beautiful? It's hard to say - every place has its own charm! But we recommend a walk through Blumberg's city park or a hike on the circular trail "Black Forest Panorama".

Summarising: Blumberg is definitely worth a trip for everyone who wants to enjoy nature, culture and culinary delights. We hope this guide will help you plan your next trip to Blumberg!

    Der erste Teil des Weges war relativ gemütlich und unspektakulär. Dann hatten wir Glück und noch einen Blick aud die Sauschwänzlebahn erhaschen können. Anachliessend nahmen wir die 2 km Ehrenrunde zum schön gemachten Picknickplatz in Kauf. Anschliessen kam der spektakuläre Teil. Da sich ein Gewitter ankündigte, etwas zackiger als geplant. Richtige Indiana Jones Vibes hier.

    Wunderbarer, teilweise etwas abenteuerlicher Weg, da die Pfade abschnittsweise stark zugewuchert sind. Besonders an der Abbruchkannte am Scheffheu ist daher vorsichtiges Gehen angesagt. Lange Hosen, gutes Schuhwerk und Wanderstöcke sind empfehlenswert. Der Abstieg vom Scheffheu ist ein steiler Erdweg. Alle Warnungen, ihn nicht bei bei Nässe zu gehen, sind meines Erachtens voll berechtigt. Wer gerne im Wald geht (und den Schatten an heißen Tagen zu schätzen weiß), kommt bei dieser Tour voll auf seine Kosten. Ein weiter Ausblick tut sich am Eichbergstutz auf. Daher lohnt sich der kurze Abstecher. Beim Abstieg Knabenkraut und Türkenbundlilie entdeckt.. Gute Beschilderung, zwei oder drei Stellen sind mit Stahlketten entschärft, keine Sitzbänke (abgesehen vom Eichbergstutz)

    Really enjoyed this hike. Sufficiently challenging with steep and sometimes long climbs and the Wutachschlucht, combined with beautiful views. Apart from the last leg when we walked along the lake into Konstanz the trail was very quiet. We had independently arranged accommodation. All were of excellent quality and good value. We had also organised taxis to transport our suitcases between hotels as there was no agency offering to do this. In spite of asking the Verein and various tourist boards I was given no real help or advice. I would recommend all of the companies we used - Taxi Feiburg 555555, Frank Witte, Taxi Striskovic, Dein Taxi and Taxi Vogler. It is not a cheap way of doing things but all of our bags were delivered on time without any problems. If doing this hike take plenty of water and lunch as there are not a lot of places along the way to fill up or buy food. The only disappointment we had was that there did not appear to be any plaque at the end of the hike in Konstanz to mark the end of the walk. We went to Tourist Information and they had no idea where the official end was. Regardless would really recommend the Querweg!

    Heute morgen gelaufen, der Aufstieg von Aachdorf auf den Schaffheu war gut zu gehen, einige etwas rutschige Stellen, Abstieg nach Eschach eher schwieriger, aber für trittsichere Wanderer machbar. Die schmalen Wege sind stark zugewachsen, ich würde lange Hosen und vor allem wasserdichte Schuhe empfehlen, zudem Wanderstöcke. Der zweite Teil von Eschach auf den Eichberg ist angenehmer zu laufen, die Sicht vom Aussichtspunkt toll. Fast nur im Wald, ausser im Ort kein Asphalt, wenig Forstwege, meist kleine Pfade und praktisch zu 100% im Schatten. Sehr zu empfehlen, aber auf keinen Fall nach Regen, besser längere Trockenperiode abwarten.

    spannender, abenteuerlicher Pfad durch die Wutachflühen. mit ausgeprägter Höhenangst sollte man evtl. die einfachere Alternativroute wählen.

    Eine schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour durch eine tolle Landschaft. Der GPS-Track ist sehr gut, kann ohne Nachbearbeitung verwendet werden. Mein Tipp: etwa 500 Meter vom Ortsausgang Sumpfohren nicht gerade aus auf die Schotterstraße fahren. Lieber links abbiegen und dem Fahrradweg folgen bis zur K5741, dann wieder rechts abbiegen und weiter dem Track folgen.

    Gestern 8.2.26 habe ich diese kleine Wanderung gemacht. Es ist für Leute die gut zu Fuss sind. Die Treppen haben hohe Tritte, deshalb sollte man fit sein. Im Winter ist es nicht zu empfehlen, da gewisse Risiken vorhanden sind. Erdrutsch und eisige ungesicherte Teile des Weges.

    Schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour, die gleich zackig hoch geht, am Wasserfall vorbei durch den Wald. Nach weiterem steilen Anstieg sieht man später die interessante Sauschwänzlebahn, die man ein Stück begleitet. Auf die vielen Aussichten auf dem Höhenweg, der einen schließlich in die Schweiz bringt, mussten wir wegen dichtem Nebel leider verzichten.
