It's actually a very nice view and with the Selfi Butler you can even put on the photo and take selfies with a time delay.

View of the valley at the wildlife enclosure

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can pass here on the Himmelssteig tour hike. With a little luck you can see the game, but otherwise at least the beautiful view of the valley remains! 🤩👍

May 22, 2022,Himmelssteig mal wieder

I've walked the Himmelssteig at least once before, but it's always great. I think the route is a bit different now than it was then. But you can still get past the most important highlight: the Himmelsbar! So lovingly decorated and after 12 noon still cold, delicious drinks, fantastic. Plan your time - I was there for two cyclists and …

Very varied hike, always new impressions and panoramas, you feel like you are on vacation. A tour for connoisseurs, definitely bring plenty of time. If you are looking for peace and quiet here, you should perhaps do the hike during the week. We were there on a Saturday and there were already a few hikers on the way. But still, …

Beautiful tour with great, varied forest trails. Some very steep climbs, which always alternate with somewhat flatter sections.
Very exhausting at 25°, although a lot in the forest.

August 17, 2025,Schwarzwälder Wandersinfonie „Himmelssteig“ – Bad Peterstal-Griesbach

A typical Black Forest hike with a few ups and downs. We thought we'd set a limit of 10 km for today. A beautiful hike with decent climbs and many refreshment stations—typical for the Black Forest—often referred to as liquor and wine fountains. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available, but usually in a limited selection. All for a small coin deposit …

Very well marked trail in the forest, some nice climbs but there are many benches to rest if needed. A few passages in alpine meadows and a waterfall to diversify the landscape. Two beer or Schnapps bars with free access (box to pay) for a short break!

April 16, 2022,Himmelssteig 😇 - einfach himmlisch schön

Today the Himmelssteig was on the program again, last run about 4 years ago. A really nice gourmet trail with beautiful views. My fear that many hikers are out and about today has not been confirmed. We had a free choice among the many great rest areas. It was simply wonderful, even if it was quite chilly and windy at …

Today, Steffi from the Black Forest invited us women to the Himmelssteig followed by a spa visit. In the weather we climbed the Himmelssteig with a few four-legged friends 🐕🐕‍🦺🦮 full of anticipation. It was very entertaining because the paths kept changing, sometimes nice and wide for conversation, then again very narrow and rooty, where you had to concentrate well, …
