On Saturday through the Black Forest in the Spanish heat.

Starting at the small Felsenkeller hiking car park in Gütenbach, there was a short ascent and over to the figure of the courtship Lord God that had grown into the tree.
A longer descent follows with a detour to the Hexenlochmühle, which is served, for a short rest.

A beautiful but strenuous hike with lovely fellow hikers. Most of the hike followed forest and meadow paths. The weather was fantastic. Every now and then there were stunning panoramic views of the beautiful Black Forest. 🥰

My round today essentially corresponds to the Balzer Herrgott round. I started at the Hexenlochmühle, where you can stop off at the end and/or buy Black Forest ham, schnapps, fruit wines, glass art and cuckoo clocks.

Great views, paths that require absolute surefootedness, wild streams, rocks, high meadows, steep valleys.
Top tour!!!!

Past the Faller Hof and the Balzer Herrgott it goes to the Hexenlochmühle - there is delicious food - although no bargain market - but very friendly and the dog also got a bowl with water. Immediately afterwards, next to the Rappenfelsen, it goes up the sting - smokers can …

Sometimes wide asphalt paths, sometimes narrow single trails and mostly up or down, that's how it started until, after a long, steep descent, just before the witch's hole, a strong rumble of thunder could be heard. Here then hiked to the Hexenlochmühle to be on the safe side. Then looked dry …
