This was once again a wonderful tour in the Black Forest. The Naturfreundehaus Badner Höhe was not recommended, although opening times are given online, I found myself standing in front of a closed door for the third and last time.
The rustic Scheerhof and the excellently renovated Rote Lache are particularly recommended 👍👍
