At 8°C, the hike starts at the train station in Lautenbach. Then it's... uphill 😁.
I stop at the first rest area and enjoy the fantastic view!!! With the 🔭 I can see the Moosturm and Geigerskopfturm 🥰. The climb to the Satteleich Hut is quite steep, and at times a bit boring, on wide forest paths.
On the Sohlberg, …

The stand has been on my list for a long time 👉🦹
It is a bit confusing that it is sometimes signposted as the Hexensteig and sometimes as a snack hike, and in some places it is simply marked with the yellow diamond. The route also seems to have changed slightly. But very nice, especially on a beautiful spring day

Finally got started. I was always very wary of the long route but now I'm glad I tackled it. A beautiful, varied hike. There are lots of drinks cabinets and you can take a break at comfortable seating areas. You can also fit in a break or two or three... 😉......

Next year during Carnival season, we "witches" from the Black Forest Association will definitely hike the Hexensteig trail, dressed as real witches.
🧙‍♀️Today we started in Lautenbach and climbed 5 km up the mountain. The views are simply magnificent, and along the way, you'll encounter several schnapps fountains and witches' brooms, witch's houses, a cat 🐈‍⬛, and not to forget …

After the Kappelrodecker Hexensteig, now the Lautenbacher. For me the prettier of the two 😃
