Maps and trails
Fischerbach offers its visitors many tourist attractions such as the historic parish church of St. Wendelinus or the local history museum, which provides an insight into the history of the region. Cultural highlights include the annual wine festival and the traditional Schützenfest.

Culinary Fischerbach has a lot to offer - be sure to try the famous Black Forest ham or enjoy regional specialities such as Maultaschen or Spätzle.

For outdoor activities Fischerbach is perfect - hike through the idyllic Black Forest, take a bike tour along the Kinzig valley or go fishing at one of the many lakes and rivers in the area. In winter, skiers can show off their skills on the nearby slopes.

But there's plenty to do in bad weather, too: visit the thermal spa Badeparadies Schwarzwald, for example, or relax with indoor climbing in nearby Offenburg.

The most beautiful spot in Fischerbach? That's hard to say, because every visitor has their own preferences. But for us, a walk through the vineyards with a view of the surrounding mountains is definitely one of them!

Overall, Fischerbach is definitely worth a trip! Our Travel Guide will help you plan your trip optimally and discover all the highlights.

    Wir sind 4 von 5 Etappen vom 29.05 bis zum 01.06.2025 gelaufen. Etappe 1: Haslach iK - Hohenhäuser, ca. 17 km Bis zur Grabkapelle von Hansjakob lieblicher Blick ins Kinzigtal, danach überwiegend Waldwege, ab und an Ausblicke ins Tale und auf malerische Höfe. Einkehr im Biergarten der Munde Biereck empfehlenswert, Übernachtung im Höhengasthof Zum Kreuz. Etappe 2: Hohenhäuser - Zell aH, ca. 25 km Bis Steinach überwiegend durch dichten Wirtschaftswald, ab und an oberhalb von Wiesen. Einkehr in Steinach gut möglich, der steile Aufstieg parallel zu der stark befahrenen Straße an der Kinzig ist mit Abstand der schwächste Abschnitt der Runde. Etappe 3: Zell aH - Brandenkopf, ca. 19 km Der Biergarten vom Vogt auf Mühlstein war schon um 12 Uhr überlaufen, der Abschnitt entlang der Bahnstrecke durch Oberharmersbach zieht sich etwas, erst Recht aber der Anstieg auf den Brandenkopf auf breiten Forstwegen scheint kein Ende zu nehmen. Etappe 4: Brandenkopf - Wolfach, ca. 12 km Insgesamt schönster Abschnitt der Tour parallel zum Westweg! Einkehr in der Hohenlocher Hütte ist unbedingt zu empfehlen! Der Abstieg vom Brandenkopf erfolgt überwiegend auf Pfaden und schmalen Wegen. Ab Wolfach ist stündlich eine Rückfahrt nach Haslach mit der Bahn möglich. Wir müssten die Tour hier bereits wegen eines Wetterumschwungs abbrechen. Ein Besuch im Hansjakob-Museum bietet sich an! Ca. 1 - 1,5 Std reichen bereits für den Rundgang im Erdgeschoss aus.

    Alles in allem eine schöne Tour. Trotz der überwiegenden breiten Waldwegen. Schwer ist sie meiner Meinung nach nicht. Mittel trifft es besser. Wie schon von Anderen geschrieben, ist der Abstieg durch den Vesperweg einiges interessanter als der Aufstieg. Ich war aber trotzdem froh den Aufstieg im schattigen Wald zu machen. Generell mag ich den Wald.

    Im Bereich zwischen Zell und Wolfach eine sehr schöne, naturnahe Tour. Im Kinzigtal dann leider sehr oft neben den Straßen entlang.

    Genussreiche Wanderung an einem herrlichen Frühlingstag. Dass immer mal wieder ein Brunnen oder eine Quelle auf dem Weg lag, kam den Hunden sehr entgegen.
