Feldbergsteig trail – foodie trails in the Black Forest

What a hike! It can easily be included in the list of the funniest hikes. Why? So: Today at noon we arrived at the parking lot next to the youth hostel because the weather was supposed to be nice by noon. So we started hiking without any problems, but the fog/clouds didn't want to lift yet. Who cares, there is a weather station on the Feldberg (Friedrich-Luise-Turm), so the forecast should be correct. But at the latest from the Bismarck memorial it was clear: it won't work. In fact, at the top of the highest mountain in Baden-Württemberg there was absolutely no view 🌫️. We even noticed the two people present with us at the last moment 😱!!! We thought it was funny and didn't let it spoil our fun 🤣, there's enough to discover right in front of your feet: heather, countless blueberries, the leaves of the yellow gentian, Bärwurz, beautiful roots, tons of black slugs and drops of water on trees, bushes and spider webs. When we reached the east side, the weather cleared up. We were as good as alone on the road, we only met two youth groups and scattered hikers. This is probably very rarely the case on the Feldberg, but we really liked it. At the end we were even able to catch a glimpse of the "Wetter-Schätz-Turm" (= weather station), which we had previously walked past completely blind 👩‍🦯👨‍🦯 😂. We didn't see the TV tower either, although we were standing right in front of it - it's still noted in the highlights 😉🤗. Even if we didn't see much at times: the Feldbergsteig took second place in 2007 in the hiking magazine's most beautiful day hikes.

An overnight stay at the Baldenweger Hütte with raclette is worth it! Then you can attach a second tour in this area. Unfortunately, most huts are closed on Mondays!

https://www.hochschwarzwald.de/touren/geniesserpfad-feldbergsteig-9800dccd10 The landscape is fantastically beautiful, unfortunately the vistas up to the Zugspitze and Switzerland from the summit of the Feldberg at 1,493m above sea level. Autumn is certainly the most beautiful season to hike in the Black Forest, these colors ... Challenging paths, uneven, rooted, stony, slippery, narrow, but a very, very great hiking trail. On the way back to Freiburg, approx. 45 km away, stopped at the Titisee.

The tour is really nice and challenging at the same time! I would only recommend it during the week! Even during the week it is very well attended ... So nothing for lone fighters ;-)

Since we are currently hanging around in the Black Forest, we naturally had to go hiking on the Feldberg. Well, we knew that the trip wouldn't be an insider tip, but we hadn't expected so many fellow hikers. There are also hardly any benches to rest on the route, but there are many serviced huts, which are ok sometimes, but not all the time... It was too much commercialism for us and parking in the multi-storey car park alone cost 12 euros... Well, you can do it, but you don't necessarily have to.

An absolutely fantastic tour around the Feldberg with everything that goes with it. Steep climbs, cow pastures like in the Allgäu and fantastic views. Definitely worth recommending.

A wonderful and beautiful hike with wonderful views. If you're lucky, you can even see the Alps. There are many huts along the route where you can take a break. At the beginning you miss the beautiful hiking trails because you walk more or less on well-developed paths to the summit. That changes when you leave the summit and leave the St. Wilhelmer Hut behind you. Shortly afterwards we go along a hiking trail to the right and things get great from there. It goes up and down on stony paths, narrow paths and across meadows. When you arrive at Feldsee, you can take a breather and enjoy the view before the final climb begins. Overall, a great piece. Good shoes are mandatory.

Once again, I hiked the Feldbergsteig. A truly beautiful hike with beautiful views and plenty of places to stop for refreshments.
