Mega beautiful and varied tour. Sturdy shoes necessary. Pleasant on hot days, as it is often in the forest and along the stream. Lots of benches to enjoy the view. Walk counter-clockwise

YouTube link at the end of the comment. I'd be happy if you'd watch and like it.

Started on Saturday morning from the hiking car park in Staufen. A beautifully laid out trail for those who enjoy hiking. Quite easy to walk. Be sure to go counterclockwise (recommended). This way, you'll take the "rock path" uphill. It makes it easier. …

In 1/3 of the tour there is some information and places to rest along the way. The paths in the middle of the meadows and the deer walk are particularly beautiful. At the game enclosure there is a box in which you can find corn to feed the animals (for a donation of 1€).
In the Gasthaus zum Hirschen you …

Drive deep into the lonely Black Forest today: the Schwarzatal. The first surprise on the way there, when I come out of the forest after several kilometers on a narrow road: a breathtaking view of the Alps! The Rappenfelsensteig begins at the Staufen hiking car park, which only has 6 spaces, large crowds are not expected here 😀. (But there …

I have to say, I didn't feel it at all for the first 3km today, as it was just downhill on a wide forest path. Things then got a little better along the Schwarza. On the right the Schwarza, on the left there are always huge scree slopes. After 5km on forest paths we finally climbed. From here we went …

Today we hiked up to the Rappenfelsen rock face. The trail begins with a wide path that descends for quite a long time. We actually didn't like the trail at first. However, after that, it was all uphill. The paths became very narrow, and you just walked past the gorge all the way to the top. A truly great trail, …

The area around the Rappenfelsen runs on small paths, offers great views and is really totally beautiful.
Unfortunately, I didn't like the rest of the round as it mostly runs on forest roads and meadows. I find it nicer to connect the Rappenfelsen area with the Felsenweg.
