August 14, 2024,Schluchtensteig 4.Etappe von Lenzkirch nach Sankt Blasien

Unfortunately, the fourth stage is largely on "forest highways"... only the last 2 km before Sankt Blasien have features that do justice to the name Schluchtensteig.

You can also leave this tour, almost 90% of the way has gravel or tar, only the beginning with the huge view and at the end the waterfall inspired me.

May 3, 2024,Schluchtensteig Etappe 4

Today I did stage 4. It was an uneventful stage with no highlights. Only the waterfall just outside of St. Blasien is nice to look at. Otherwise it was a "recovery stage". Unfortunately I did get caught in the rain. But rain gear helps... and water doesn't hurt.

Nice stage of the Schluchtensteig, but it is always advisable to look at the signs, some paths that are indicated in Komoot are difficult or impossible to walk on.

On the 4th day on the Schluchtensteig, the landscape changed a bit. From Fischbach, I walked through a rather lovely Black Forest idyll. Meadows, hills, some forest, beautiful old farmhouses and cows dominated the picture. There are uphill sections and after 2 km I reached the turnoff to the Bildsteinfelsen. I reached the summit via a small rocky path, with …

The tour begins beautifully, with an almost complete view of the Schluchsee. After descending to the lake, walk along the shore on wide gravel paths to the beautiful Vesperstube Unterkrummenhof. There you can also swim wonderfully in the lake at a small beach.
Unfortunately, the rest of the route in the direction of St. Blasien runs almost exclusively on gravel …

At the Schluchsee, the largest lake in the Black Forest, we first walked 3 km along the lakeshore path. Then the Schluchtensteig plunged back into dense forests. Ferns, mosses, and blueberry bushes lined our path. A few old Black Forest houses stand between Obere and Untere Habsberg. Shortly before St. Blasien, we canyon lovers got our money's worth. Over a …

Today the first 3km towards Schluchsee and the last 2km through the Windbergschlucht were great. The rest of the hike is on asphalt and hard, wide forest roads. You can do it, but you don't have to. So only 1 star for this stage.
