October 30, 2022,Schwarzwald Wandern: Aufstieg zum Belchen

We've been to Badenweiler for short breaks a number of times. But we have not yet hiked on the Belchen. That should now change in golden October.

Let's start in Badenweiler by car up to the Neuenweg and then to the parking lot below the Haldenhof. The start begins at about 915 meters and takes us about 6 km along …

October 5, 2022,Auf den Belchen (1414 m)

Golden October: sun and 20 degrees! 😎 So let's get up on the promising Belchen (1414 m).

We take the sunniest and most comfortable climb from the Heubronner Eck over the Hohfelsen.
The path rewards us with wonderful views of the valleys and with a view up to the Alps 🏔. We enjoy the sunny summit and can't get enough …

October 2, 2021,Kleine Belchenrunde

Today we used the great weather again for a little pleasure tour on the Belchen from the hiking car park "Im Mond".
On wide paths it goes to the Hohkelch, from there over the well-known paths to the Belchenhaus. Hardly something going on today and yet again super-friendly service, that strikes me again and again here👍
A short detour to …

Today the weather is finally right and we dare to hike to the Belchen. We park the car at Heubronner Eck.

And off we go, of course, uphill. Past the "Dekan Strohmeyer Chapel" up to the "Richtstatt Schutzhütte".

At the old border wall we decide to take the rock path. This takes us to Lünzmannplatz. This vantage point lets us …

May 18, 2025,⛰️ Belchen im Schwarzwald

Today I went hiking on the most beautiful mountain in the Black Forest. I'm always fascinated and inspired by the Belchen. This is where my passion for hiking originated. It was my first hike and my first summit climb in fourth grade. Even then, I was totally enthralled, and it still influences me today. No matter where I've hiked or …

January 19, 2025,Über den Wolken #Belchen😚🔅〽️🆒️

Above the clouds with slightly frosty❄️ temperatures and a bright blue sky. A slightly gusty breeze💨 coming from the 🇨🇭Alps was our constant companion. Unfortunately, the view of the Alps was +/-0😬. Start at the Im Mond hiking car park🅿️ via the Dekan-Strohmeyer Memorial Chapel, Richtstatt and Hohe Kelch to the Belchen summit〽️. A dream✨️

January 31, 2024,🇩🇪 Wir mussten mal wieder dem Belchen guten Tag sagen.

Today there was a meeting with Mr. Berger and we hiked on the Belchen again.
The weather in the valley was too warm, there was no view of the Alps today, but there were beautiful views over the Black Forest.
There was only a few small patches of snow below the summit.
On the way back, just before sunset, we …
