The path is designated as a premium path. Unfortunately, you get the motto of the day before the first highlight, driveways with short path sections...

All in all, despite some great highlights, the path could not really inspire me.
The Maisacher ridge, the center of Baden, the refreshment stations, the forest bathing area and the break spots are great.

Buchkopf Tower closed!!!
The Maisach Tower Trail is a fantastic loop along beautiful, varied paths. Views of the Oppenau side valleys abound, and from the foot of the tower, you can also see Strasbourg and the Vosges Mountains. Tables and benches invite you to enjoy a snack, and loungers offer a short rest after the climb.
Further along, the Renchtal …

The Maisacher Turmsteig leads over the Maischer Grat. This is a very beautiful section with narrow paths and great views. The Turmsteig continues to take us to the center of Baden. This is followed by the Maisacher Bade Anstalt. A steep path leads us up to the Buchkopf tower. You have a great view from the Buchkopf tower.

Great tour with three Komoot'lers on the highly recommended Maisacher Turmsteig. The hike is very varied with forest and meadow passages, narrow paths and comfortable forest roads. Again and again you have wonderful views, e.g. of the Maisach valley, the Buchkopfturm and the Renchtal. There are many beautifully designed rest areas along the way and the Renchtalhütte as a place …

Today, with better weather than expected, we went with the SWV to Maisach for the Maisacher Turmsteig trail. Passing Schnapsbrunnen, Breitenberg, and Renchtalhütte, we climbed some steep climbs to the Buchkopfturm (a tower), which has unfortunately been closed since October. After a short break, we descended steep paths, past the 3-Tower Viewpoint, the Maisach swimming pool, beautiful seating areas, and …

Dream tour in the middle of Baden to the Buchkopfturm. I also passed the middle of Baden after the Maisacher Grat. Steep climbs, the obligatory schnapps fountains and great views. Highly recommended.

A recommended hike with lots of variety. The public bathing facility in the middle of the forest is fun. Lots of great vantage points with benches and carvings. At the summit there is a fantastic panoramic view from the Buchkopfturm.

OK, that wasn't actually what we had planned.
Forecast: 7:00 a.m., a brief light drizzle, then a wonderful mix of sun and clouds.
Everything was fine over the Maisacher Grad, but heavy rain up to the Buchkopf.
On the tower, there was the promised perfect mix of sun and clouds, but in the form of a bright milk soup with …

My wife, who is not at all comfortable with heights, and I ignored all the warnings ("very difficult", "sure-footedness", "acrophobia", etc.) and did the Turmsteig including the Maisacher Grat. My wife kept waiting the whole time for the dreaded section to appear - it never did. It is simply a beautiful
