Looking up is rewarding

🌀Distance: ~8km

🌀Time: ~3 hours

🌀Difficulty: Moderate/Easy

🌀Our rating: 💚💚💚💚💚/5

This tour is a real pleasure for the senses. It offers everything you might need for a nice walk at the weekend with friends, family, kids and dogs. So collect the gang, make sure you charged your devices for some amazing photo...und los! Let's go!

First and foremost start off early. The parking spaces in the immediate vicinity are scarce. Your best options are "Wanderparkplatz Vor Burgbach" or at "Kurhaus Bad Rippoldsau". The good news is that there is enough place for street parking, but be careful when walking along the street to the beginning of the path or when crossing, because it is a busy state road.

Going up to the first castle

Do you know this feeling when you go to a new place and without the slightest idea you fall in love and you instantly know that you'll come back again? Well, that's what happened to us with the charming town of Schramberg in Schwarzwald. More about the town itself, you could find in a soon-upcoming blogpost on "Some of the best towns to visit in Schwarzwald". 

We found this trail by chance. One Saturday morning, while having our first and probably sweetest cups of coffee, I was browsing through a list of hikes and the name "Schramberg" grabbed my attention for some reason. I showed it to my always-ready-to-go-for-a-hike husband and in half an hour we were already in the car. After finding a free street-parking just outside of the town's center, we headed to the starting point of the Genißerpfad. What is this word? And what's the difference with Qualitätsweg? You can find out here.

There is this picturesque region at the heart of Schwarzwald (Black Forest) in Germany, which I call the Ach-Square. Its four corners are the towns of Gutach, Schiltach, Wolfach and Hausach. This area offers a variety of hikes for every taste and fitness condition. There are short, middle and long trails. Some will lead you through the history of the towns and their most notable people, others will satisfy all your senses - your eyes will be "blinded" by splendid views, your ears will be dazzled by peace and bird songs, your whole being will be surprised by calmness and beautiful nature.
