Foodie Trail – Mummelsee-Hornisgrinde trail

02:14

6.71km

250m

Hiking

The almost treeless heathland - the "Grinden" around the Hornisgrinde in the northern Black Forest are largely protected. The Mummelsee-Hornisgrinde path takes you seven kilometers through this unique and ecologically valuable landscape.

The tour combines numerous highlights on an attractive, sometimes challenging route. In addition to magnificent Black Forest views, the Grinden path and the boardwalk through the raised moor, the legendary Mummelsee is a particularly outstanding attraction.

It is best to pack some provisions, as there are not many places to stop for a break along the way. The path is particularly beautiful in the evening hours when the sun sets in the west over the Vosges. It is also quieter then at Mummelsee, the popular excursion destination.

Getting there: Lines 100 from Freudenstadt and 200 from Baiersbronn; Line 263 from Bühl

Mummelsee

Highlight • Lake

An old legend tells that in the past, nixies and dwarves, as well as a king, lived in the Mummelsee. On full moon nights, the nixies are said to have come to the Deckerhof in Seebach to do handicrafts, sing, and tell poems with the inhabitants.

Even today, the nixies visit village evenings. Of course, only in the company of their strict father, the Mummelsee King.

Hornisgrinde Tower

Highlight • Monument

Busy on weekends. If you really want to enjoy the peace and beauty of the high moor, as well as the all-round view, you should make the ascent early in the morning or late in the evening.

Bismarck Tower, Hornisgrinde

Highlight • Monument

Small observation tower with interesting landmarks on the railing, for example sunrise and sunset on solstice days or direction and distance to Kehl, Strasbourg, Vienna or Lima. The view is stunning.

June 12, 2023,Seebach-Seibelseckle: Mummelsee-Hornisgrindepfad [Premium-Wanderweg]
"The Mummelsee-Hornisgrindepfad combines numerous highlights on a charming, sometimes challenging route. In addition to grandiose Black Forest views, the Grindenpfad and the Bohlenweg through the high moor, the legendary Mummelsee in particular is an outstanding highlight. In addition, the Hornisgrinde lookout tower, the smaller Bismarck tower and the Dreifürstenstein were given further attractions. 3 nice rest stops with regional specialties." …

If you thought I'd end my Black Forest vacation 🌲 with such a measly castle tour 🏰 (Who likes boring old ruins? 🥱)... well, you were completely wrong 😉.

The Mummelsee-Hornisgrinde Trail was too far away for a day trip, but as a special pee-break deluxe tour 😎 and a perfect way to end the day 👌, even though it …

The Mummelsee-Hornisgrinde Trail combines numerous highlights on a charming, at times challenging, route. In addition to magnificent Black Forest views, the Grinden Trail, and the boardwalk through the raised moor, the legendary Mummelsee Lake is a particular highlight. Other attractions include the Hornisgrinde Observation Tower, the smaller Bismarck Tower, and the Dreifürstenstein Rock. Three lovely places to stop for refreshments …

I was really in the mood for a sunrise again.

According to the weather app, a sunrise would have been possible from my usual spot (Hohes Horn), but I didn't want to risk it not being bright enough.

So I decided to go a little higher up.

The Mummelsee - Hornisgrinde trail seemed like the perfect option.

Starting point for an Enduro Black Forest tour through the great landscape 🌳🌳🌲
Nowhere is the Black Forest so rustic and expansive.
BUT the trails are also extreme and partly consistently S3.💪
Currently snow again and a summer project

Today was departure in Bad Peterstal-Griesbach, but there was still a tour waiting for us on the way home along the Black Forest High Road.😊
We parked at the Seibelseckle car park and then we went steeply uphill on an alpine, very stony path. We started sweating a lot🥵, but then we made it at the Dreifürstenstein, border marking of …

There's a lot going on here at Mummelsee and the surrounding area. As a start to a spontaneous weekend in the Black Forest, you can get in the mood for all the typical export hits here.
