From May to October, the chairlift offers a pleasant opportunity to get on the Seekopf. Where in the winter skiers can romp man in the summer months for little money on the weekend to enjoy the ascent or descent.

Today, a short loop, Ruhestein, Wildseeblick, Darmstädter Hütte, and back down the other side.

October 29, 2025,Darmstädter Hütte

We hiked with the school children (grades 1-4) from Ruhestein to the Darmstädter Hütte and back. For some of the children, it was their first time so high up in the Black Forest, with a fantastic view! First, they spotted a squirrel 🐿️, then loads of mushrooms 🍄‍🟫🍄 and deadwood. They kept bending down to collect stones. Some had red …

After a visit to the Ruhestein National Park Center (highly recommended), take a short walk. We actually wanted to go to Wildsee, but the path is closed until mid-March.

November 28, 2021,Vom Ruhestein zur Darmstädter Hütte ☃️❄️

Today we went into the snow as planned, in the hope that there wasn't so much going on and we were lucky. There were a few tobogganists at the Ruhestein, but there was very little traffic around the back to the Darmstädter Hütte. On the way back we were parallel to the B500. This is the signposted route from the …

I like this round because it's great to go with the family. In the beginning you can take a retro single-seater chairlift up the mountain for a few euros. At the top, the path runs on a plateau and you get a reward in the form of a great view of the Wildsee. If you follow the path, you get …

July 17, 2024,Wildseeblick Wanderung

Today I took the X45 from Baden-Baden up the Black Forest High Road and explored the area around the Ruhestein National Park Museum a little.
Perfect hiking weather!

I really wanted to see the National Park Museum, otherwise I would have walked straight down to Mummelsee.
The museum was made with love and understanding (maybe a bit kitschy??) and it's …
