April 5, 2025,der Menzenschwander Geißenpfad ... ein echter Genießerpfad

The Menzenschwand Geißenpfad (Gait Trail) is a themed trail and part of the Schluchtensteig (Gorge Trail). There are many benches and rest areas, as well as information panels, for example, about glacial moraines and a gorge (a gorge or klause is a weir built to dam water for rafting), charcoal burners, an old loading ramp, etc. The landscape is impressive, …

The hike was very scenic, with beautiful views and a small but lovely waterfall. However, in my opinion, there were too many logging roads and asphalt paths for a premium hike.

The award-winning Menzenschwand Goat Trail at the foot of the Feldberg mountain captivated us. It offers endless variety: valleys carved by glaciers, waterfalls, magnificent views, wonderful old Black Forest farms, and, as the name suggests: goats. 🐐🐐🐐 With a bit of luck, you might even spot a few of their wild relatives, the chamois.

We started just before sunrise to enjoy the silence and the morning. It goes through beautiful nature, with pastures where cows and goats graze. Through forests that are wonderfully cool. A really wonderful route!

Today, I wanted something less strenuous...so I decided to take the Goat Trail here in Menzenschwand. This leisurely trail leads through a beautiful landscape, especially the last 3 km downhill along wonderful paths with a magnificent view of the Feldberg Tower. I didn't see any goats, but that didn't detract from the tour.
