Going down was a pleasure, going up was not so much fun because of the heavy traffic.

A beautiful place in the Black Forest, where it's beautifully quiet. A visit to St. Märgen is highly recommended!

Parallel to the panoramic road at an altitude of around 1,000 metres, you can walk around 7 km along the Kapfenbergweg between St. Märgen and St. Peter (or vice versa) (most of this is also possible with a gravel bike). In the winter months, the walk is pleasant in sunshine because it mostly runs along the edge of the forest on the south side of the Kapfenberg slope. When the weather is clear, you can look south from there and see the silhouettes of the higher Black Forest mountains such as Hohwart, Hinterwaldkopf, Feldberg, Toter Mann, Stübenwasen, Hochfahrn and Schauinsland across the Wagensteig valley. The famous wooden Vosges Chapel is also located on the Kapfenbergweg. From St. Märgen, on the outskirts of the town in the direction of Turner, you can reach the Kapfenbergweg via the sports field past the Rankmühle. It ends after around 6 or 7 km, where you then go downhill 200 metres in altitude again via Schmittenbach on an asphalt road to St. Peter.
