Barbecue area at the Saustallhütte (Sommerberg)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A beautiful barbecue area with a semi-open hut and a large meadow.
The place is not far from the Sommerbergbahn and the treetop path and is ideal for a relaxing end to a day of hiking.

Bärenklinge viewpoint overlooking the WildLine and the Enz Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you want to save the 9 Euro entrance fee for the suspension bridge, you can enjoy a view of the nearby bridge and the Enz Valley from here. If you do get a taste for it, it's not far to the ticket office and entrance. ;-) There are places to sit.

Treetop Walk Tower Slide Black Forest

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald (Black Forest Treetop Path) is a 1250 m long treetop path on the Sommerberg west of Bad Wildbad in the district of Calw, Baden-Württemberg, at an altitude of about 750 m above sea level (NHN) and was built according to the plans of the Schönberg architect Josef Stöger. The facility, opened in 2014, offers information about the forest and its wildlife at various information stations, as well as an observation tower. It is operated by the company Erlebnis Akademie AG.

The entrance to the path can be reached from the mountain station of the Sommerbergbahn via the Emmaweg or from the public car park via a zigzag path.
The treetop path has a length of about 636 m and a height above the ground between about 4 and 20 m. It follows the terrain with a constant gentle incline and offers various didactic stations as well as experience stations such as balance beams or wobbly elements. In addition, there are 15 comic panels along the path, which are intended to provide excitement and convey knowledge, especially to children, as part of a treetop path comic rally.

The entire path, including the ramp access in the observation tower, is barrier-free and reaches a maximum gradient of 6 %.
At the end of the path, you reach a 38.5 m high observation tower, which is predominantly made of wood and, due to the arrangement of the twelve doubly inclined, layer-glued main supports, looks like a large twisted cup. The supports are arranged rotationally symmetrically at the same distance from each other and are inclined both outwards and clockwise. They are connected to each other by steel tubes, braced several times crosswise, and partly protected against the weather by sheet metal cladding.

The access from the path into the tower takes place at a height of about five meters on the second winding of the 614 m long access ramp, which runs within the support columns, and which, after a total of nine windings, reaches the twelve-sided, approximately ring-shaped observation platform. This is attached to the outside of the supports with steel cantilevers and offers a view far into the Black Forest, the Rhine Valley, and the Swabian Jura. Orientation arrows to sights and to the other treetop paths of the operating company are attached to the parapet.
At a height of 25 m, between the access ramp and a steel tube support standing in the middle of the tower, there is a triangular platform, from which a 55 m

The goal this afternoon was actually to do the treetop walk. Very long queues in front of the entrance prevented us from doing so.
So we went to the quieter areas to the five trees rest area and enjoyed the peace and quiet again on the loungers.
Went back to see the paragliders, but there was nothing going on, too …
