View of Wildsee

Located in the middle of the Black Forest National Park, the Wildsee exudes a kind of calm. An achievement for the animal and plant world.

Darmstädter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Always delicious food and drinks. There is plenty of outdoor seating around the hut. The hut is located directly on the Westweg and is therefore also a good stopover with overnight accommodation.

March 19, 2023,Baiersbronner Himmelsweg: Bannwald-Tour

this time we are hiking in the Black Forest again and have walked the Bannwald Tour, one of the Baiersbronner Himmelswege. From around mid-March, the closures on the tour will be removed again. This allowed us to go back to the Wildsee and the great path to the Darmstädter Hütte.

August 16, 2021,👣 15km im Baiersbronner ☁️🌤☁️ Wanderhimmel

Circular hike in the "Baiersbronn Wanderhimmel" in borderline weather.

In connection with a motorcycle tour, I went hiking in the Black Forest National Park.
I parked in the public forest parking lot at the forester's house Auerhahn.
From there it goes down a few steps and then over a steep path in the forest up to the Brandhütte. From there …

A wonderful, varied and entertaining route. We are on wide paths, narrow, rocky, rooty, wet and dry paths. I am really impressed ☺️.....

August 2, 2024,🌲Baiersbronner Himmelsweg: Bannwald 🌲-Tour

I started at the hiking car park behind the Hotel Auernhahn. At first it's a gentle uphill walk, then there are steep paths up to the former Falzhütte with a height difference of around 300 metres 🥵 I was sweating in this weather today. Continue on to the beautiful Wildsee 🤩 where I was besieged by ducks 🦆🦆🦆 who wanted …

This morning I decided at short notice to go hiking again. I found this 13.22 km tour on the internet, which you could even start at Seibelseckle.
schwarzwald-tourismus.info/touren/baiersbronner-himmelsweg-bannwald-tour-cff070e847

Accordingly, I didn't get to the top until around 10 a.m. But the weather deterred some hikers. The parking lot was still relatively empty. But it was cold and very windy. The …

Hello everyone,

After not hearing anything from me about the Black Forest in a while, here's another beautiful, scenic hike. My sweetheart canceled the tour at the last minute 😔. But for health reasons, I understand and bring you some lovely pictures.
