Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trail is a lovely alternative to the Westweg, especially if you have a thing for old boundary stones.

November 1, 2023,vom Brend zur Martinskapelle🍂

All Saints Day and finally no rain!
After our neighbors invited us to dinner in Furtwangen, we decided to take a short hike from the Brend over the Günterfelsen to the Martinskapelle. Although the sun only occasionally peeked through, we enjoyed the beautiful colors and mossy rocks 🍁
