When you are on foot and in wet weather, it can get quite slippery. Sturdy footwear is recommended.

A very nice destination for a snowshoe hike.

I'm too old for the course, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. There are three routes with different focuses. I ran as far as the ski jumps, and I imagine it's similar further up.

Very nice tour, but the designated path is blocked off twice with barbed wire.

One of the most beautiful views in the Black Ridge area, in my opinion. The short climb to the summit cross is definitely worth it.

A short side path above the bridge leads to this small vantage point overlooking Weitnau. There, you'll find an information board about the Carl-Hirnbeinweg (Carl-Hirnbein Trail) on the landscape, a bench, and even a summit cross.

For me, the amusement park is a little gem. You can start or finish many tours here. You can work up a sweat in the pond, there is a beach volleyball court, lots of play equipment for children, mini golf on "artificial grass" and a kiosk with typical food and friendly service. During the week it has been pleasantly quiet so far.
