December 8, 2024,Sagenrundweg 17 Gengenbach-Bergle

The first legendary trail of my life💪😄. The tour was suggested by my dear friend, who was with me today, which I was very happy about. It was worth it, the tour is varied with great views, some narrow paths through the forest and back through vineyards. And finally a round trip around the Christmas market

Today, due to the weather, I spontaneously decided to join the senior hike 😉 organized by the SWV Elzach-Winden, and I haven't regretted it. A beautiful half-day hike to the Teufelskanzel with manageable ascents and descents. Plus, there are always fantastic views of the entire Kinzig Valley. And Gengenbach is always worth a visit.

So on my tour I hiked the first half on mostly wide paths, after the Teufelskanzel I continued on beautiful, narrow forest paths. I skipped the St. Jakobskapelle on …

Many vineyards, magnificent vantage points of the Kinziktal and Gengenbach. The Teufelskanzel with a great view and just before the descent the Jakobus chapel on the "Bergle" …

Very nice circular hike with some sights. Consistently well walkable hiking trails. After the hike, historic Gengenbach invites you to take a city tour. Good places to stop.
