🙁 Unfortunately, Forst BW has partially destroyed a 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 path to such an extent that we will certainly prefer the alpine trail next time 😉 but even so, 🥾🥾 hiking boots are a must 😍 we certainly didn't have an average of 6.3 km 😅

August 31, 2025,Wanderung zum Kaltenbachsee und Enzpuelle

The beginning of the Great Enz

Consists of the Poppelbach and Kaltenbach streams. The loop to Kaltenbachsee is a very pleasant walk and invites you to take a break. There are even cold drinks at the fountain along the way.
Those who are more comfortable on foot can also take the path along the water to the lake.
