Description

The cuckoo’s calling…

Boots laced, snacks packed – you can set off on your fabulous hike in the Hochschwarzwald (High Black Forest).

From Roßberg in Breitnau, you have countless beautiful views over the picturesque village and over the surrounding municipalities and mountains. The track on the oberer Fahrenberg mountain is lined with rustic farmyards, inviting us to take a closer look.

Directions

We begin the panoramic trail around the Breitnau’s local mountain at the hikers’ carpark at the church in the town centre. Form the carpark, we first ascend a short, crispy way up Mount Roßberg. From there, we follow the wide forest trail down through the forest; after a right turn, a small footpath leads us down to the Hugenweiher pond.

Then, we continue over luscious, green meadows until we come upon a little road on the oberer Fahrenberg mountain. We hike straight on to the Naturfreundehaus and the Schanzenhäusle guesthouse and restaurant. At the Naturfreundehaus (closed on Wednesdays), you can rest and enjoy a cool drink. From there, we proceed along a sunny high route at the edge of the forest with gorgeous views back into the village of Breitnau.

Equipment

We recommend sturdy footwear!
