Hiking

Bernbach is an idyllic district of Bad Herrenalb. From here you start your forest-rich hike to the Bernstein and Tannschachberg.

Wide forest paths alternate with rooty trails. The former Baden-Württemberg border is always within reach and sometimes right under your hiking boots - numerous border stones line your path.

April 28, 2024,Bernbacher Grenzerfahrung

Hiking with a view - you can do that on the "Bernbacher Grenzerfahrung" circular tour.

Very close to Bad Herrenalb is the small town of Bernbach, from where we start. It goes uphill at first, we want to enjoy a beautiful view and it doesn't take long to arrive.

We follow narrow paths, wide forest paths and soft grass paths.

Today we headed back to Bernbach in the Murg Valley. From the barbecue area, we continued steadily uphill around the Mauzenberg to the Bernsteinfelsen. After a short break with a magnificent view, we descended past the paragliding launch site and the old launch ramp back to the barbecue area.

September 25, 2021,Bernbach, Sonnenuntergang am Bernstein

Sunset on the amber rock, not for the first time but soon again.
It's just incredibly beautiful to watch the sky there, how slowly all the colors change. Nothing to be heard but a woodpecker that was still knocking hungry and many crickets.
There are so many ways to walk towards Bernstein, today there were a bit more wide paths, …

January 2, 2026,1. Bernstein Besuch 2026❄️🥶🧤🧣

My favorite spot with dear friends, the first Bernstein visit of the new year.

My ears almost froze off in the icy wind, but we had the Bernstein Cross all to ourselves at first and could enjoy a cozy picnic in the shelter.
