This morning we started directly from the hotel with a beautiful view of the town and bright sunshine. First it went down a bit, but the path to the village is closed due to work. So we couldn't climb the beautiful piece on the Rench, but we'll make up for it from below.
At the height there are 2 beautiful …

However, there are enough highlights, including schnapps fountains, carved statues, and views, to ensure the walk doesn't become a mere jog. The trail sections are also beautiful and enjoyable. We stopped at Braunbergstüble for …

The weather is increasing. The Schwarzwaldsteig offered itself. This morning it was still pleasant, which changed quickly at noon.

The route is also well signposted here. Only I seem to suffer from chronic "briefly-didn't-seen-a-sign-and-already-went-wrong syndrome". 🤦‍♀️😅 Or I just wanted to check out the old breed of sheep further down the slope. Hence a short extra dangling with reverse function.
