Maps and trails
Geographically, Friedenweiler lies on the edge of the Black Forest and borders directly on Switzerland. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills, wide meadows and dense forests. Particularly impressive are the numerous lakes and rivers such as Lake Titisee or Lake Schluchsee, which are a breathtaking sight at any time of year.

Touristically relevant are above all the historic buildings such as Bürgeln Castle or the St. Trudpert Monastery as well as various museums such as the Friedenweiler local history museum or the Vogtsbauernhof open-air museum in Gutach. Regular events such as concerts, theatre performances or art exhibitions also offer cultural highlights.

Culinary Friedenweiler also has a lot to offer: From traditional dishes to modern cuisine, you will find everything your heart desires here - regional specialities in particular should be tried! Wine lovers will also get their money's worth: the Breisgau is known for its excellent winegrowing.

Those who like to be active can look forward to hiking and cycling tours - it is especially beautiful in spring when nature awakens or in autumn when the leaves change colour. In winter, it is worth visiting the ski resorts in the area. For water sports enthusiasts, there is swimming or sailing on the lakes.

If it should rain, there are also indoor activities such as visits to museums, cinema evenings or wellness offers in nearby hotels.

The most beautiful time in Friedenweiler is certainly in summer: the warm temperatures invite you to be outside and enjoy nature. Hikes through the woods or a boat trip on one of the lakes are especially recommended.

Overall, Friedenweiler is definitely worth a trip - as a travel guide, I would recommend everyone to experience this picturesque region for themselves!

    Eine der besten Wanderungen im Schwarzwald. Anspruchsvoll, landschaftlich überragend, fern von Verkehrslärm. Mit frühem Start in Döggingen hat man etwa 2,5 Stunden Gehzeit die Landschaft für sich, bevor es mit Annäherung an die Schattenmühle immer voller wird. Der Start in der Gauchach ist durchaus für Schwarzwaldverhältnisse anspruchsvoll, auch hinten raus die Rötenbachklamm weist ein paar fordernde Passagen auf, diese aufwärts zu begehen ist m.E. leichter. Die ca. 27 Kilometer sind definitiv kein Spaziergang, was nicht nur an der bloße Länge, sondern auch an der Beschaffenheit der häufig schmalen und verwurzelten Wege liegt. Trittsicherheit und entsprechende Wanderausrüstung ist unabdingbar. Die Strecke ist auch deutlich anstrengender als es die bloßen Zahlen vermuten lassen, im ständigen auf und ab dürften nochmal eine Menge Höhenmeter versteckt sein. Sobald noch etwas Feuchtigkeit dazu kommt, erhöht dies den Schwierigkeitsgrad nochmals spürbar, nach ein paar trockenen Tagen die Strecke zu lafuen Je näher man der Schattenmühle kommt, umso voller wird es. Viele Touristen, die auch entsprechend ausgestattet sind und mit dem Terrain teilweise massiv überfordert sind, außerhalb der Ferienzeit dürfte es weniger Verkehr geben.

    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!

    Schöner und abwechslungsreicher Streckenverlauf, wunderschöne Landschaft. Gerade die erste Hälfte des Weges erfordert hohe Trittsicherheit, daher sind m.E. gute Wanderschuhe Pflicht.

    Waren die Tour von der Wutach aus kommend in Kombination mit einer anderen Wanderung auf der Ostseite in Richtung Rötenbach gegangen. Tolle Natur und schöne Pfade und Wege - gut gesichert und wenn man sich auf Gegenverkehr einstellt und gegenseitig Rücksicht nimmt gibt es immer Ausweichstellen.

    Eine sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour. Mit einige. Stellen, die fast vergessen lassen, dass wir in einem Mittelgebirge und nicht in den Alpen sind. Auch bei heißem Wetter mit vielen geschützten Bereichen

    Es ist eine sehr schöne, anspruchsvolle Wanderung. Der Verlauf des Rötenbachs und die Aussicht vom Hörnle sind wunderschön. Nur wegen des Hinweises auf das Kraxeln habe ich die Wanderstöcke mitgenommen. Das war eine gute Idee, denn ich habe sie gebraucht. Es geht ziemlich steil hoch und runter. Danke für die gute Beschreibung.

    Die Röthenbach Schlucht ist wunderschön und gut begehbar. Am Anfang geht es auf der Straße durch den Ort, nicht so toll. Doch sobald man den Wald erreicht wird es ruhig und erholsam. Sehr zu empfehlen
