A beautiful hike along wide and narrow hiking trails. There are also short stretches of asphalt in between. The route, which is only technically demanding in a few short sections, has a number of highlights, such as great views. Since there is only one stop at the monastery pond on the route, be sure to check the opening times carefully …

Beautiful sunny tour. We started the tour by visiting the cathedral. Grey on the outside, completely marbled white on the inside. First we went up to Luisenhöhe, from where you had a beautiful view of St. Blasien. Then we continued along beautiful forest and meadow paths to a wonderful rest area with a view of Urberg and the Alps. Here …

The tour largely corresponds to the Rother hiking guide "Black Forest South", 12th edition 2021, tour 55.

This tour offers a whole range of beautiful distant views, such as B. from the Bildsteinfelsen or Kreuzfelsen. When looking to the south, the ridges of the Swiss Alps come into view again and again on the horizon.
