Beautiful little discreet refuge hidden in the forest. It's very quiet and the view is magnificent 🤩

Outstanding view of the Rhine plain to the opposite Black Forest with the Hornisgrinde as the highest elevation in the northern Black Forest. The Strasbourg Cathedral with one of the highest church towers can be seen very well.

We had planned to hike to Sasbachwalden but got up a little late. So, we changed our plans. It was another beautiful hike, even though we were very cold when we ate. The return trip was a bit monotonous, but otherwise quite pleasant.
