Mathisle Pond

Highlight • Lake

A small, idyllic bog lake between Hinterzarten and Feldsee. Located in the middle of the nature reserve, it is only accessible on foot or by bike - luckily! Wonderfully quiet and beautiful. Perfect for a little break!

Today a tour from Hinterzarten along the Säbelthomaweg... nice to walk through beautiful forests, to the mystical Mathisleweiher and to beautiful viewpoints. Delicious chilled drinks with a wonderful view of the Feldberg at the Milchhüsli 🙂The descent from Windeckkopf to Hinterzarten was very nice.

Another premium hiking trail in the Black Forest. You won't be disappointed here either; magnificent views are guaranteed. Varied paths with steep climbs. A great trail, well worth it!

July 5, 2022,"Säbelthomaweg" Hinterzarten - Tour ab Bahnhof Hinterzarten 05.07.22

Today we took the train via Radolfzell and Donaueschingen to Hinterzarten and back in the early afternoon. Varied round mostly through beautiful forests. A few views of the Feldberg and Hinterzarten as well as interesting information. Panels about the history of the village policeman (Säbelthoma) made the tour a wonderful experience.

The first tour in the Black Forest. With many breaks, the tour could be completed despite all the hardships.
And the tour is an absolute recommendation. Many highlights and great paths. This is how hiking should be!

I started early again today. Around 7:15 a.m.
It was even a bit chilly at the beginning.
I reached the destination around 1 p.m. By then, the sun had already set again. A varied tour with some beautiful views. Very well signposted.

A nice relaxed tour.
Unfortunately, the path also runs on many forest roads. Overall, it's still fun to run. At the drinks station there is also punch and mulled wine during the current season 😎
