Highlight • Viewpoint

The view should be reason enough to climb the many stairs and hold your nose in the wind. A great view all the way to France.

May 14, 2025,Schwarzwald - Rundtour auf dem Freiburger Schlossberg – Panorama-Wandern - mit Anke

We wanted to take it easy today, hence the relatively short day's stage near Freiburg. We had underestimated the elevation gain. We got a bit out of breath climbing the 'Schlossberg without a castle' and were pretty much at the end of our strength after only 6 km 💪😵‍💫
