One of the most tourist-relevant sights is Honberg Castle, which is enthroned high up on a mountain and offers a unique view of the surrounding area. The church of St. Gallus with its impressive frescoes from the 15th century is also worth a visit.

Culturally interested people also get their money's worth in Tengen: the annual Honberg Summer Festival attracts numerous music lovers and offers a varied programme of different genres.

Tengen also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Be sure to try the regionally famous "Hegauer Kirsch", a fine fruit brandy from the region.

For outdoor activities, spring or summer are best: hike through the forest of the Hegau or take a bike tour along Lake Constance. In winter, you can also go skiing or ice skating in the area.

And what if it rains? No problem - why not visit Tengen's local history museum or take a trip to nearby Constance, where numerous museums and shops await you.

    Wunderschöne Tour durch die Altstadt von Tengen, auf Wald- und Wiesenwegen und durch die sehenswerte Mühlbachschlucht zurück. Auf Informationstafeln lernt man vieles über das Leben der Biber. Schön, dass solche Projekte noch realisiert werden, ein großes Lob den Machern. Das einzige, was uns gefehlt hat wären ein paar Bänkle unterwegs gewesen, die gibt es leider nur am Anfang und gegen Ende der Tour.

    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!

    Da ich zur grandiosen Fern- und Alpensicht und der perfekten Beschilderung (Das Smartphone konnte wirklich die ganze Tour in der Tasche bleiben!) auch noch die Märzenbecherblüte im Rohretal genießen konnte ist mir die Tour tatsächlich 5 Sterne wert! Perfekter Samstagnachmittag.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung. Allerdings ist der Abstieg zurück ins Freudental nur mit pfadfinderischen Fähigkeiten zu bewältigen. Ein wahrscheinlich selten begangener Weg wurde durch Forstmaschinen komplett zerstört. Leider!

    Wanderweg ist schön, sonnige Wiesenwege und schattige Passagen im Wald wechseln sich ab. An der Spitzhütte und nach der Umrundung des Wannenberges grandiose Aussicht über den Hegau bis zu den Alpen.

    Sehr schön, Kind war in Kraxe mit dabei gab einiges zu sehen und konnte sogar auch ab und zu selber laufen. Für den Kinderwagen wäre der Weg so nicht geeignet gewesen zumindest auf keinen Fall bei den Wasserfällen.

    Hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Teils wirklich einsame kleine Strassen. Hübsche Dörfer und traumhafte Mischwälder, besonders in der Schweiz. Es gibt ein längeres Stück Schotterstraße durch den Wald, beginnt direkt an der Grenze hinter Schienen. Vielleicht nicht jedermanns Sache. Es ist sicher gut die Tour in der vorgesehenen Richtung zu machen, da kann man die Schotterstraße wenigstens bergab fahren.

    Schöne MTB-Runde ohne technischen Anpuch. Einzig die Durchfahrt Schaffhausen trübt ein bisschen wegen des Verkehrs. Danach nicht all zu steil bergauf vorwiegend im Wald, Der Hagenturm, ein Aussichtspunkt der Extraklasse, Super aussichtsreiche Rückfahrt nach Thayngen.
