The historic half-timbered houses in the centre of town and Bürgeln Castle with its impressive Renaissance garden are particularly worth seeing. Cultural highlights are offered especially in summer through various concerts and festivals such as the "Sommersound" music festival or the "Kunst & Handwerk" crafts market.

Lenzkirch also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Typical dishes of the region such as Black Forest specialities or Maultaschen can be enjoyed here.

For outdoor activities, the nearby Titisee is particularly suitable, where you can swim, sail or go pedal boating. Hikes on the surrounding mountain peaks such as the Feldberg or the Hochfirst are also very popular - especially beautiful in autumn when the leaves are brightly coloured.

If it rains, there are also indoor activities: The local history museum in Lenzkirch provides interesting insights into the history of the village and its surroundings.

All in all, Lenzkirch is a perfect destination for nature lovers, culture enthusiasts and foodies alike. A recommendation for every travel guide!

    Sehr schöne Rundtour. Ich empfehle, an den Bahngleisen nicht den Trampelpfad durch den Wald zu nehmen, sondern dem offiziellen Wanderweg ca. 100 m weiter rechts zu folgen. Der Pfad war zugewachsen! Ansonsten eine super Tour😊

    sehr schöne Tour mit tollen Ausblicken....aber Achtung: die Wegbeschreibung und der Track stimmen z.t. nicht ganz überein, der Einstieg gegenüber der Ruine sieht man kaum und der Weg stimmt auch nicht ganz überein. Auch der Wegweiser Hertiehaus ist etwas irreführend .... der Trackweg läuft etwas unterhalb der Waldgrenze.....aber verlaufen kann man sich fast nicht, die meisten Wege kreuzen sich irgendwann wieder. Hütte Säntisblick schlecht sichtbarer Einstieg vom Weg und die Hütte wg Einsturzgefahr nicht begehbar....

    Sehr schöne Graveltour😀 Wir haben den Hochfirst noch mir eingebunden. Schöne Ausblicke auf Titi- und Schluchsee. Reizvolle Landschaft. Gute Gastronomie auf der Stecke. Nach Lenzkirch verläuft der Fahrweg teilweise auf der alten Bahnstrecke und somit ein entspanntes Finale der Graveltour. Sind die Strecke ohne e-Power gefahren.

    Richtig schön. Das Café in Lenzkirch am Rathaus ist eine Empfehlung. ACHTUNG: Sehr gut mit dem Rennrad zu fahren ABER kurz nach km 31 geht in einer Abfahrt der Weg abrupt von tollem Benag auf Schotter über… nicht ganz ohne mit schmalen Reifen.

    Heute sind wir auf der 3 Seen Radtour gefahren. Die Wegführung ist sehr abwechslungsreich und wir haben tolle Aussichten genossen. Gelegentlich mussten wir mit unseren Trekkingräder vorsichtig fahren (Sand, Steine). Der Track war super genau und konnte ohne Nacharbeit übernommen werden. Danke für die Ausarbeitung dieser Tour.

    Eine wunderschöne Rundwanderung um das Moor. Der Parkplatz war gut zu finden der Start gleich vis a vis. Schön auch die Vegetation mit Blumen aller Art. Nach einem kurzen Aufstieg geht es wieder geradeaus. Von oben hat man Aussicht auf die verschiedenen Moorseen. Viele sind klein aber trotzdem hübsch.

    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.
