Unfortunately the Schneider Hof was closed, so there was no snack 😢

How should it be otherwise ... the new year starts like the old one left off ... with a hike 🥾

This time I did a little lap near Elzach: on the bread path around Elzach-Yach. This path is a mixture of up and down, through the forest and over meadows with beautiful views of the green valleys 👍🏻

There were three of us, two adults and a 10-year-old child. The tour was very easy to walk and it was very well signposted. The snack bar is advertised everywhere, but is only open at weekends.

Yacher Brotweg without having met a soul. Weather held, knees too, wind humane, paths: everything included. And if you go on Saturdays, you can still buy 🥖 at some farms 👍🏽

February 19, 2022,Brotweg Tour bei Yach im Elzach (5411 - Tour 3)

The tour I took was also known as the "Elzacher Höfetour" (Kompass, Schwarzwaldsüd 5411).

The whole route is well signposted on site, but there are always passages on private roads/property where it is not so easy to recognize the right way. Unfortunately, I had to jump over the wire end fence twice.
