Would have given 6 stars. Dream tour, plan enough time. It took us 7 hours instead of the actual four hours because there are so many places to stop and take a break.

Such a cool hike! The Deer Rocks are incredibly beautiful, and walking along the GR 5 makes my heart race. I definitely have to come back here with my backpack.

Very nice view of the Black Forest. To the Feldberg, Belchen, Blauen and Kandel. Very icy in places...so the crampons were very helpful. The section of the Hirschsteinfelsen via the stairs is currently closed.

At around 9:30 we managed to get a parking space at the Col de la schlucht and so we were ready to go. First to the Hirschsteine with a bit of climbing. But everything was well secured and easy to manage. Then we continued on mostly wide paths to Lac Vert. Unfortunately you can only drive here by car, which …

Up to the Col de da Schlucht again, yesterday we hiked south, today it was the northern part.
First we went through a fairytale forest up to a lookout point (Spitzenfels) where we again inspected the wall through which …

I saw the tour recently at @Juliet* and @Waldhexe and just had to do it, thanks to you 😁. A really beautiful tour with some climbing (but everything was secured) and very nice paths that definitely make up for the slopes in between. We were at the huge parking lot at 10 a.m., it was completely full and we had …
