July 13, 2025,Bad Liebenzell: Erkinger Weg
For Grandma's birthday, we took a short hike with the grandchildren near Bad Liebenzell. It was an exciting stop for the kids, with plenty of shade for the dog, but also included steep climbs and narrow paths on the hillside. Very beautiful.

A really nice little hike!
It is best to park on the market square and then start the tour on the main road by climbing the stairs. At the end of the path is the living room of the giant.
From here the path is well signposted with markers.


Be sure to wear sturdy shoes :)

Easter hike to Bad Liebenzell Castle.
Back via the Maisenbacher Tal and the Panoramaweg to the Beinberger Steige.

It was nice👍

I'm back in the Black Forest. Today I did a circular walk with a story. It started in Bad Liebenzell and the path leads to the castle. I liked it.
