Mummelsee

Highlight • Lake

An old legend tells that in the past, nixies and dwarves, as well as a king, lived in the Mummelsee. On full moon nights, the nixies are said to have come to the Deckerhof in Seebach to do handicrafts, sing, and tell poems with the inhabitants.

Even today, the nixies visit village evenings. Of course, only in the company of their strict father, the Mummelsee King.

Mummelsee Gate, Seebach

Highlight • Structure

The Mummelsee Gate (or Portal) is one of 12 gates on the famous Westweg, the long-distance hiking trail through the Black Forest. You can also stamp your tour at this gate. The Black Forest Tourism Association issues a Westweg stamp card, which hikers or cyclists can then stamp on the card at all Westweg portals. Anyone who has collected at least 9 of the 12 different stamps can then pick up a Westweg scarf from the tourist information offices.

Tip: Starting the stage at Mummelsee and extending the previous stage is a good decision. The hotel may be expensive, but it was the cheapest, best and most plentiful snack on the Westweg for the day's hike.

December 25, 2021,Satz mit X, das war wohl nix🤷
So, I REALLY wanted to do a tour to the Hornisgrinde today🤭
BUT I canceled. Running was so difficult, every step sank in the snow. It had nothing to do with hiking anymore.
So briefly about the Mummelsee, which is certainly quite enchanting - today the path was partly very icy, however, and the lake was hiding in the fog …
