September 29, 2024,Wanderung Runde Zollhaus - Schenkenzell/Schenkenburg Schiltach

A great round from Aichhalden-Zollhaus. After the start, the tour first leads down a forest path towards Schenkenzell. There are beautiful views in between. On the outskirts of Schenkenzell you then cross the Kinzig and follow a quite idyllic path towards Schiltach. After crossing the road as quickly as possible, a beautiful path leads to the Schenkenburg ruins, which …

A hike with two highlights: the town of Schiltach and the ruins of the Schenkenburg. The rest of the tour leads through the forest, where forest lovers can discover many interesting things. Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
The town of Schilten is definitely recommended. In the old town, many houses from the 18th century have been painstakingly restored. The …

From the car park we pass the train station. The hike leads along the Kinzig. A short climb leads to Schenkenburg. A tour of the castle complex is definitely worth it. Now we go downhill and then cross the main road. There follows a …

April 9, 2023,🇩🇪Schiltach - Augenblick-Runde

Today's family Easter hike led us to the hiking trail to Schiltach, which was awarded for 2023. To start with, we were a bit disappointed and spoiled by the trilogy in Peterstal. Schiltach as a city well worth seeing with the recommended coffee "Törtchen & Tapas" very beautiful half-timbered houses. The hiking trail itself was great. Well signposted with steep …
