Maps and trails
Offenburg is a beautiful city in the heart of the Ortenau district in Germany. The geographical location of the city offers many special features and makes it an ideal destination for tourists from all over the world.

The city lies at the foot of the Black Forest and is surrounded by vineyards. Offenburg has a rich history and cultural highlights such as the historic town hall or the town church of St. Ursula are a must for every visitor.

Tourist attractions also include the Museum im Ritterhaus, which presents works of art from the Middle Ages to the present day, and the Salmen, a cultural centre with changing exhibitions and events.

Culinary Offenburg also has much to offer. The region is known for its wines and there are numerous restaurants serving regional specialities. The traditional tarte flambée should not be missing from any menu!

Outdoor activities are also not neglected in Offenburg: hiking through the vineyards or along the Black Forest are popular activities during the summer months. In winter, you can go skiing or snowboarding.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the Stegermatt leisure pool or one of the many museums in the area.

It is particularly beautiful in Offenburg in spring when everything is in bloom, but also in autumn when the forests become colourful. All in all, Offenburg offers a perfect mix of nature, culture and culinary delights. It is definitely worth a visit!

    Wir sind wie geplant in umgekehrter Richtung gelaufen und das war super. Es ging viel bergauf, aber ganz angenehm. Und als es ganz warm war, waren wir im Wald unterwegs.

    Heute bin ich die Tour gelaufen. Jedoch andersrum als vorgeschlagen, so dass das Highlight - der Brandeckturm erst in der 2. Hälfte der Tour kommt. Man hat tolle Aussichten, knackige Anstiege, schöne Pfade und auch mal Forstwege zum erholen und plaudern. Danke an den Schwarzwaldverein Dubach für den Wandervorschlag.

    Die Route verlangt Aufmerksamkeit, denn sie ist nicht als eigener Rundweg beschildert. Es lohnt sich aber sehr, abseits der (oft vielbefahrenen) Schotterwege, auf Pfaden die Natur zu erleben. Stöcke und feste Schuhe sind sehr hilfreich. Vielen Dank für die Ausarbeitung.

    Nicht separat beschildert; mit der Beschreibung kam ich gut zurecht. Die Highlights Hohes Horn und das wahrlich imposante Schloss Ortenberg werden auch über den beschilderten Ortenauer Sagenrundweg "Brandeck" erreicht.

    Landschaftlich sehr schöne Tour. Ich war mit E-Trekking-Rad unterwegs, was zum Teil schwierig war. Profilreifen wünschenswert

    Gigantische Tour. Ich habe die Tour im August 2024 gemacht und denke noch immer mit schönen Gefühlen daran zurück. Der Schwarzwald ist und bleibt ein RR-Paradies.

    Une rando avec une première moitié bien cardio ! Mais on sait pourquoi on fait l'effort une fois arrivé en haut ! La vue de la tour est splendide, on en a pris plein les yeux au-dessus de la mer de brouillard et de nuages. À découvrir !

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour durch badische Ortschaften, Wälder und Wiesen. Allerdings sind wir nach Renchen einen Abstecher nach Erlach geradelt um nicht mehr neben der B3 fahren zu müssen. Vor Urloffen sind wir wieder auf den Track zurück gekehrt. Uns hat die Tour sehr gefallen!
