February 4, 2023,Schramberg: Lauterbach - Mooskapf - Mooswaldkopf

First of all, I have to thank @Barbara & 🐾, who created this tour so well, but unfortunately couldn't be there today.
So I kind of followed in their virtual footsteps and I have to say: great, well put together! Thanks very much.
This morning I still doubted that today would be such a great hiking day. The rain on …

September 5, 2025,10 Jahre Pinktrails! -2-Tages-Tour Schwarzwald, Fohrenbühl, Lauterbacher Hochtalrunde

Day 2. We were awakened by the sound of heavy rain. After a delicious breakfast, there was much discussion about whether we should start walking, hike at all, or wait an hour in the common room while another shower began.
So we waited, and the rain stopped!!!
The Lauterbacher Hochtalrunde lived up to its promise. Beautiful forest paths with unobstructed …

The route of my saved tour has now changed in two places at the end. Replanning during the tour is not possible because there is no reception. This variant is therefore no longer up to date. The route is quite well signposted. Especially at the changed places. The current length of the tour is 10.5 km.

After the fog cleared this morning, I really needed to get some fresh air. I did the Lauterbacher Hochtalrunde. The start and finish was at the Fohrenbühl Memorial House (unfortunately closed at the moment). Despite some asphalt in between, it was a very nice tour with great views. Be careful when it's wet on the wooden plank walkway, as there's …

Hiked the Lauterbacher Hochtalrunde in glorious autumn weather. The tour starts at the hiking car park at Mooswaldkopf. The memorial house is located at the top of the Fohrenbühl pass. It was built in 1905 by the Black Forest Association. Unfortunately, the restaurant and the 23m high tower are closed. The Württemberg/Baden border also runs here.
First, about 200m along …

We start at the highest point of the tour, at the memorial house on the Fohrenbühl, and first walk downhill through dense forest.

A few meters lower, the wide Sulzbach valley stretches out before us, with incredible beauty. We walk along autumnal paths along the edge of the forest and are absolutely fascinated by the view that awaits us here.
