The round starts at the “Im Wolfsgrund” hiking car park or alternatively at the…

Nice tour, the weather is not quite what we had planned for our vacation, but you just have to make the best of it. We started hiking in the snow and arrived back in bright sunshine, but it was cold and windy. The route leads steadily uphill for the first third, but not too steeply. In between there are beautiful …

Wellness - hiking - feeling good 😉
After a relaxing day in the Titisee bathing paradise yesterday, we walked the premium trail Jägersteig at Schluchsee today.
The small detour to the Riesenbühl Tower was definitely worth it. With fantastic weather, we had a great view over the Schluchsee to the Alps.
Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau... all great to see.
After the …

July 1, 2026,Schwarzwald: Genießerpfad "Jägersteig"

Today we're taking a day off - but only from the Schluchtensteig! 😅 Instead, we went on the "Jägersteig" pleasure trail. Conveniently, it led directly past the Naturcamping site, so we could start right away. 👌

After the thunderstorm ⛈️ and heavy rain the evening before (the small tent ⛺️ held up!), it was still a bit rainy and gloomy …

Since the journey went smoothly, I was able and had to take advantage of the fantastic winter weather and hike the Jägerstieg trail again. Apart from the fallen trees, it was a dream! Of course, trudging through the sometimes slushy snow was tiring, but there were also snow-free sections, and otherwise, it was simply fun.

The Jägersteig

With the Greenpeace Freiburg group we were at the nature camp at Schluchsee last weekend.
On Saturday we went paddling and swimming in the pleasantly cool Schluchsee. Hiking was announced for Sunday. So I grabbed my walking sticks and off we went to the Jägersteig. Initially along the banks of the Schluchsee, it soon went uphill into the …

At the end of our vacation 😢 and at the same time to end the year, we decided on the Schluchseer Jägersteig and got another stamp for our hiking book 😎

You do almost all of the elevation gain of the tour right at the beginning, but you will also be rewarded with a great view of the Bildstein. In …

We started the tour in bright sunshine. Then it got tighter over time and there was a short shower in between. But there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. And were therefore prepared for all eventualities 😀 The path through the forest is beautiful. I love walking on forest floor. Fantastic view of the lake and …
