Hiking

Individual lynxes repeatedly roam through the Black Forest. They haven't settled here yet, but if you want to get to know the big cat on quiet paws better, you can follow their tracks on the lynx trail.

It starts with lots of information in the Luchshütte. At the start you can hear the call of the wild cat - the perfect introduction to the approximately five kilometer long route. You walk past many adventure stations through forests where the lynx would feel at home. Children can experience how lynx sneak, jump, peek and hear. Halfway there is a snack area surrounded by tall beech trees where you can take a break.

The tour can be reached with the regional bus line X45 from Baden-Baden (stop Bühlerhöhe/Plattig).

Lynx Trail – Black Forest National Park

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful, varied forest path with lots of information about the lynx. But the path is not easy, as you walk a lot over roots, stones and steps.

Whether you're big or small, the Lynx Trail in Plättig is the place to be🫣. A highlight in the Black Forest, located right next to the Wilderness Trail, simply great.

Beautiful hike along the Lynx Trail, mostly in the forest. Well-suited for children.

We hiked the Lynx Trail in the Black Forest National Park, starting at the Plättig parking lot on the Schwarzwaldhochstraße. Right at the beginning, the path led us through dense forests and past several interactive stations where we learned a lot about the lynx and its habitat. We found the interactive elements particularly exciting, where we could try out how …

A wonderful experience for the whole family. "Telescopes" keep appearing along the route (a piece of pipe that you can look through, which allows you to get a focused look at papier-mache wild animals, which you can see through the pipe or not :-). Then you should visit an eye doctor :-). The route leads almost entirely along narrow paths, …

A (natural) experience in a class of its own 😵. For that you get five ⭐-es from me 👍.

If you have the opportunity - and are sufficiently off-road capable 😅, you shouldn't miss it:

The many ups and downs seemed to me to be much more than 90 meters in altitude. Good footwear and surefootedness are necessary. Right now the roots on the paths are slippery and the leaves on the ground only give an idea of what is underneath.
There are a few benches (at the jump station and towards the end of …

Out and about with the grandchildren today. The Lynx Trail is perfect for a hike. It's very varied for children, and the grown-ups have fun too! The path through the forest was beautifully shady! From the Plättig parking lot, it's only 1.2 km to the Kohlbergwiese Inn, where you can enjoy good food and drinks, and the kids can romp …
