Description
On our hike, you will enjoy wonderful views of the Schluchsee. You hike from Schluchsee-Ort in the direction of "Seebrugg", through the tranquil forests to the heights in the direction of "Dresselbach", across open terrain to the forest farms and then back via the "Riesenbühl" tower.
Especially if you climb the Riesenbühl tower, you can let your gaze wander over Schluchsee and the surrounding area and, with a bit of luck, even see as far as the Alps.
Author's recommendation
After hiking, cool off your arms and legs in the water treading area behind the Hotel "Vier Jahreszeiten"!
Directions
You start your tour at the Kurhaus in Schluchsee and first cross the church square in the direction of "Seebrugg". Walk down the "Kirchsteig" to the crossroads, where you follow the road to the left. A little later you reach the hiking trail at the "Schluchseehalle", which takes you to the edge of the forest.
Here you walk along the "Kohlgrubenweg" into the forest and follow the red diamond with the white line. From here, continue upwards on a narrow path and follow it above the lake. Here you can enjoy the view from the benches.
After a bend, leave the lake view behind you and climb uphill again, always following the yellow diamond. Walk through the sparse forest to the "Faulenfürster Eck" crossroads and enjoy the refreshing forest air. At the top, cross the road and continue along the "Steinatalweg" trail. After a short while, leave the Steinatalweg trail to the left towards "Hinterhäuser" and follow the red and white rhombus of the "Mittelweg" trail. Here you can enjoy the feeling of the sun again and warm up.
Pass the "Lindenhof" vacation home and continue along the "Waldhofweg" in open terrain with a view of the meadows and fields of the farms. From here, you also have your first view of the "Riesenbühl" observation tower, which you can take a short detour to later. You now walk downhill past the forest farms towards Schluchsee.
Once you reach the Riesenbühl circular trail, follow it until you reach the Riesenbühl tower on the left. Here you can take a detour and enjoy the panoramic view from the tower.
Immediately, or after the detour to the tower, turn right onto a narrow path and descend through the dense forest back to the village. From the Hotel "Vier Jahreszeiten", follow the road to the left and continue towards the center of the village back to the Kurhaus.
