Next to the Büchelesbrunnenhütte is the larger Schwendehütte. The large bench needs to be renewed or at least repaired.

Wooden Bridge on the Zinsbach (Mühlweg), Zinsbachtal

Highlight • Bridge

Currently closed. On closer inspection, a wooden board was missing from the step on one side. The board would probably have been replaced quicker than closing off the entire bridge.

November 25, 2024,Durch das Zinsbach Runde- viele Naturwege, über Wörnersberg von Edelweiler

Very nice route, which I found similar here once. The paths that Komoot calls off-track are very easy to walk, sometimes better than the official hiking trails!

By off-track I meant primarily the path behind Wörnersberg, the one behind the mill is more of a GPS inaccuracy

There is also a restaurant with a beer garden. However, we cannot recommend the return route (some of the paths are no longer easy to walk on, lots of asphalt, long …

Today I realized again why I love being in the Black Forest. The dark forest, the smell, the moss, the mood, it was wonderful.

A restful and relaxed tour through the Zinsbachtal.
Parking right on the street.
Only two small sections on the country road.
Chapel in the middle of the forest. Panoramic view from Wörnersberg...
