Easy hikes and walks around Wolfach

Planetenweg Interesting facts about the Planetenweg The Planetenweg aims to bring the hiker and nature lover, young or old, a little closer to some characteristics, astronomical and physical conditions, and especially the colossal size ratios of our solar system and thus also of the universe. The distance of the planets on the hiking trail also corresponds to the real distance from the sun on a scale of 1:1 billion. The model of the sun, a hollow sphere made of 4mm thick sheet steel, weighs approx. 140 kg and therefore has a diameter of 1.3 meters on this scale. At the planet locations, there are display boards with the relevant data of the respective planet (diameter, orbital period around and distance from the sun, etc.) and a brief explanation of the history/origin of the name. Unfortunately, during the planning and construction phase of the Planetenweg, the planet Pluto was "demoted" to a dwarf planet, but it still forms the endpoint of our hike through the solar system. ....

On the Fohrenbühl runs the former border between Baden and Württemberg, a border that has always been a boundary of districts, states, and religions since time immemorial. Lauterbach, as part of the former County of Hohenberg, belonged to Further Austria, but fell to Württemberg in the Peace of Pressburg in 1805. Due to the former Austrian rule, Lauterbach was Catholic. Hornberg was Württemberg, thus Protestant, and in 1810 fell by exchange to the Grand Duchy of Baden. Thus, the curiosity arose with two inns, only 25 m apart, that the "Schwanen" inn, belonging to Hornberg, was Württemberg until 1810 and then became Baden, and the "Adler" inn, previously Further Austrian because it belonged to Lauterbach, fell to Württemberg from 1805 onwards.

St. Roman is a district of Wolfach in the upper Sulzbächle. It is first mentioned in documents in 1370. Today it is still an independent parish. The pilgrimage to St. Romanus is very old. The Gothic sacrament house from the 15th-century house of God is still located in the church. Numerous farm signs can be seen on the wooden ceiling. The forester Josef Anton Fürst (1803-1893), the "Fürst vom Teufelstein", his wife and some of his 13 children are buried in the cemetery. A memorial on the southern outer wall of the church commemorates the forester original.
