If you start the U(h)rwaldpfad in the direction of walking down the waterfalls, you will come to a small, nicely made, family-friendly drink stand at the beginning.

If you're looking for Blindensee, pay attention to the two signposts at the parking lot. This is exactly where the entrance to the Blindensee is located. If you miss this entrance, just take the path through the forest via Blindenhöhe to the lake. This will also reach your destination, but a little later. 😀

Immerse yourself in the raw, impressive world of Black Forest craftsmanship! On the Craftsmen's Trail (Handwerkerpfad) between the Weißenbach hiking parking lot and the Hofcafé Näbbe Duss, 12 fascinating black-and-white photographs tell of a time when craftsmanship meant pure skill, hard work, and passion. Glassblowers creating delicate works of art with fire and breath. Carpenters shaping beams with powerful blows. Log drivers facing roaring waters. Hunters, butchers, bakers, watchmakers – each profession tells its own story, each image captures a moment full of dedication and tradition.
