April 6, 2026, Wooden Train Playground, Naturpark Südschwarzwald

The playground is located at the Salvest game enclosure. Ideal for children to play. Ideal for adults for a little break.

It's recommended to download the route offline to your phone beforehand, or to have an analog copy with you in case you want to double-check if you've taken a wrong turn. We had no cell reception for long stretches along the way.

Beautiful mossy forest paths, especially in the first half of the trail through the Germanswald forest. The route is very well signposted for the most part, but in some places, in my opinion, the signage is not ideally placed, so it's easy to take a wrong turn.

A wonderful route, wonderful to walk. Now in winter, the path turns into small streams in places. You then have to walk around the ice floes 🥶

A very old ruin. There is not much left, but it is still worth a visit.
