Author's recommendation
The outdoor swimming pool of Klosterreichenbach invites you for a refreshing swim.
Directions
Follow the “Mittelweg“ trail (red diamond with white stripe) to the northern outskirts of the town (
signposts: Turmbräu, Stadtbahnhof): past the town hall via the streets “Forststrasse”, “Ringstrasse”, “Hirschkopfstrasse” and “Wildbader Strasse”. At the edge of the town, turn left into the “Heideweg” trail, which leads through the meadows up to the edge of the forest (
signposts Jägerhof, Heide Herwig). You should look back at least once to enjoy the beautiful view of Freudenstadt. Follow the signs to Baiersbronn, past the
Spielplatz Hüttenteich (playground + barbecue area) to signpost
Platten. From there the blue diamond leads to the
Surrbachkopf and to the right down to the
Birkleshütte shelter. Do not go straight ahead here, but turn right uphill over the
Hirschkopf hill to the Friedensbaum tree. Passing to the right of the sequoia tree, you reach the signpost
Schönblickwegle. From there, follow the footpath to the signpost
Misselewegle and then the trail via
Rußenkopf, Zimmerplatz and
Rosenberg to the Zimmerplatzhütte shelter (a rest area with a stunning view). After 700 m a narrow footpath (blue diamond) leads down to Klosterreichenbach via
Rosenbergwegle and
Dornstetter Weg. A stroll through the park brings you to the famous monastery church . Crossing the “Murgtalstrasse” you reach the station at Klosterreichenbach.
