The hike is generally good, but for me, hiking is more likely when the paths are less than four meters wide and reinforced with gravel so that heavy construction machinery can also drive there. The section near the eponymous rocks, on the other hand, is very beautiful.

November 20, 2022,Schwarzwaldverein Freiburg: Qualitäts-Wanderweg Felsenweg

Today I was out with a group organized by the Freiburg Black Forest Association to have them show me the new Felsenweg quality hiking trail. I already knew parts of it, but under the expert guidance of Nanja, this, like all guided tours, always had solid information content. The start is in Oberried near the Adler, sometimes on broader paths …

March 2, 2023,Oberried: Felsenweg (Qualitätsweg), Start am Hintertal, zurück Wilhelmitenpfad 💚

Today, together with Flora, I'm tackling the quality trail Oberrieder Felsenweg. I'm not starting in Oberried, but at Hintertal, where you can usually park quite well along the roadside.
It immediately heads towards Oberried onto the Wilhelmitenpfad, and above the first houses, I climb steeply up to the Panoramaweg. Today, due to the dense fog, the panorama is only veiled, …

Start at 7.40am at the car park on Hintertalstrasse, 18°C

I climb the Panoramaweg very slowly like a 🐌, as I've been having stomach/intestinal problems for the last 2 days 🥴. It's very humid and I notice that I'm not "my old self" yet.

Quite a nice hike overall. There are all kinds of hiking trails (hiking highway, nature trails, rock paths). Unfortunately, there is one negative point. On the way to Oberried you have to walk a short distance (approx. 500m) on the green strip of the country road. Not dangerous, but uncomfortable. A praise to the Black Forest Association that keeps the …

November 13, 2021,Felsenweg Dreisamtal

Today I started at the Adler in Oberried to take the freshly awarded quality hiking trail "Felsenweg Dreisamtal" under my feet. The deciduous forest was still astonishingly colorful up to a height of approx. 800 m. The panorama path offers really great views of Oberried and Kirchzarten.
On the Brendelwaldweg (km 2.44 - 3.24) I thought I had to build …

The Felsenweg below Schneeberg and Wilder Schneeburg has been around for a long time, but last year a good 12 km long "quality hiking trail" from Oberried up to the Gfällmatte and then back down via St. Wilhelm to the Hohe Brücke bus stop was set up under this name for advertising purposes.
The official starting point is in Oberried …
