Friedrich Tower at Badener Höhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Friedrichsturm stands on the Badener Höhe. The tower with 168 steps offers an excellent view of the Rhine plain. There are a few places to sit and a shelter right next to the Friedrichsturm.

Herrenwieser Lake

Highlight • Lake

If you focus on the rocky hiking trail, the lake is barely noticeable. It's well hidden, but definitely worth a detour.

St. Antonius Church and the Queen of Peace Monument, Herrenwies

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice little place. The Buntsandsteinkirche St. Antonius, dating from 1744, is worth seeing. Above the church is the "Queen of Peace", an artistically crafted memorial from 1947. Herrenwies is a …

These Scottish cattle are an attraction in Herrenwies, and an additional enclosure with Mangalitza wool pigs has now been built. Always worth a trip for locals and tourists, and the Herrenwieser campsite is also very close by.

May 23, 2023,Schwarzwald - Badener Höhe

Behind the Herrenwieser church, a forest path leads evenly and slightly uphill to the lake of the same name. From here a beautiful, steep and rocky path leads up to the Seekopf. Here you can learn that the path was laid out in 1926.
It continues with low tree growth on or to Badenerhöhe. With its 30m, the Rapunzel Tower …

April 6, 2025,Hoch über Sand: Sandsee - Herrenwies - Herrenwieser See - Seekopf - Badener Höhe

Despite constant sunshine under a bright blue sky, it was quite chilly today, but that didn't detract from the impressively beautiful hike in the slightest! 😁
First, we headed from Sand along root paths, past the picturesque Sandsee lake, then down to Herrenwies.
From here, we continued with a gentle climb through the forest up to Herrenweiser See, where we …

September 4, 2022,Badener Höhe – Ausblick auf die Talsperre Runde von Sickenwald

Today's round has a very high proportion of wide gravel roads running through the forest. On the first 6 km to the Badenerhöhe you have a few places with far-reaching views between the trees.
On the Badener Höhe you have magnificent views from the Friedrichsturm.
From there to Herrenwieser See, the stony paths on the Panoramaweg are fantastically beautiful.

October 7, 2022,Badener Höhe – Ausblick auf die Talsperre Runde von Sickenwald

Fantastically beautiful hike. Definitely 40% great, narrow root-stone paths. Absolutely magically beautiful experience of the Herrenwieser See. There were also some beautiful views, e.g. B. The Two Lakes View.
I would recommend doing the tour in the same direction, because otherwise you go up this root-rock path for a long time.

May 11, 2025,Wanderung Herrenwieser See und Friedrichsturm

A great tour in the beautiful weather. From Herrenwieser Lake, we climbed up to the Badener Höhe, with the Friedrichsturm tower as the highlight. Great views from up there, whether of the Rhineland or the Swabian side.

Unfortunately, the detour to the Naturfreundehaus was too late, as it closed at 4:30 p.m.
