Forsthaus Auerhahn Hotel & Restaurant

A place one dreams of. At the very end of the spring-fresh Langenbach, near Baiersbronn in the Black Forest. Where previously only woodcutters, carters, raftsmen and a few individual summer visitors came to the wellness paradise Forsthaus Auerhahn.

The small lake is below the west path. At some points you have a nice view down. There is also a small branch down to the lake.

Darmstädter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Always delicious food and drinks. There is plenty of outdoor seating around the hut. The hut is located directly on the Westweg and is therefore also a good stopover with overnight accommodation.

March 19, 2023, Baiersbronner Himmelsweg: Bannwald-Tour

this time we are hiking in the Black Forest again and have walked the Bannwald Tour, one of the Baiersbronner Himmelswege. From around mid-March, the closures on the tour will be removed again. This allowed us to go back to the Wildsee and the great path to the Darmstädter Hütte. This tour is one of the most beautiful paths that we have walked in the Black Forest so far, it is a pleasure path and one of the Baiersbronner Himmelswege. Very varied and natural paths, some very steep, alpine and rocky paths, just wonderful. Tour Dates: Tour length: 13.2 km Ascent 459 m Highest point: 1041 m Walking time: 4 hours Surefootedness: ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚪ Difficulty: ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚪️ Experience points: ⚫⚫⚫️⚫️ Suitability for prams: no, but great for slightly older children Best regards Simone and Werner one of the most beautiful hiking trails I know in the Black Forest https://youtu.be/r3bPnrYfyfI

A fantastic tour through the mystical Black Forest, especially the fog, which really added to the experience 😍🥰 Highly recommended and worth seeing

Translated by Google

A wonderful, varied and entertaining route. We are on wide paths, narrow, rocky, rooty, wet and dry paths. I am really impressed ☺️.....

Circular hike in the "Baiersbronn Wanderhimmel" in borderline weather. In connection with a motorcycle tour, I went hiking in the Black Forest National Park. I parked in the public forest parking lot at the forester's house Auerhahn. From there it goes down a few steps and then over a steep path in the forest up to the Brandhütte. From there past the Pommertsbrunnen to the Seibelseckle, where there is a rest area on the B500, a hut for refreshment and a ski lift in winter. To the right of the ski lift hill it goes steadily uphill, past another refuge with a barbecue area, connected with beautiful views of the Rhine plain up to the Gaiskopf. In addition to an informative telescope, there is also a memorial stone for storm Lothar. The Gaiskopf, with an altitude of 1,049 meters, is the “turning point” of the tour, from here it goes downhill again. Past the Darmstädter Hütte (hosted), it first goes around a bit, then later through the 100-year-old forest. In the forest there is a right path to the "Wildsee viewpoint". First you can look down on the Wildsee from here, and then later go down to it via a very steep path. The lake itself may not be circumnavigated for nature conservation reasons. Bathing is also forbidden to protect the flora and fauna! From the Wildsee there is another small ascent, then it goes over forest roads and forest paths back to the forester's house Auerhahn. All in all, it is a 15km walk with great views and dense forests.

I started at the hiking car park behind the Hotel Auernhahn. At first it's a gentle uphill walk, then there are steep paths up to the former Falzhütte with a height difference of around 300 metres 🥵 I was sweating in this weather today. Continue on to the beautiful Wildsee 🤩 where I was besieged by ducks 🦆🦆🦆 who wanted something to eat 😅 The further steep path through the cirque wall to the Wildseewegle is also not easy. At the top I made a short detour to the Eutinggrab and enjoyed the view. Continue past the Darmstädter Hütte to enjoy the wonderful view of the Rhine plain shortly afterwards, but today the dark ☁️ put a stop to my plans 🤷‍♀️ . Continue on to Seibelseck and Brandhütte, hoping that the weather holds. From the Brandhütte we went down great forest paths 🌲 into the Langenbachtal to the game reserve 🦌 and then on to the Hotel Auernhahn. My 🚙 was standing there all alone at the hiking car park. Such a beautiful tour and yet hardly met any other hikers along the way 🤔

Hello everyone, After not hearing anything from me about the Black Forest in a while, here's another beautiful, scenic hike. My sweetheart canceled the tour at the last minute 😔. But for health reasons, I understand and bring you some lovely pictures. The weather was a bit cooler than expected at first, but as the hike progressed, it got warmer and warmer, and I had to quickly take off my vest because it was uphill again. "You have to warm up 😂"… Today, too, I was a little closer to "Baiersbronn Hiking Heaven" and enjoyed the wonderful views. Views like the Rhine Valley, the Ruhestein, and the Hornisgrinde, to name just a few. ⛰️ I thought I was alone and would have some peace and quiet. No way… I hadn't encountered as many tourists as I did today in 13 km. There were cyclists and hikers in droves. By the end, my mouth was even dry from constantly greeting people, so I had to eat the delicious blackberries I found along the way. Now it's time to head home to enjoy a nice hot coffee ☕️. See you 👋

Very nice tour from the forest car park forester's house Auerhahn over the Darmstädter Hütte to the Wildsee. Partly difficult terrain, surefootedness should be available!
