Description
On our tour we pass the idyllic Windberg waterfalls and arrive in St. Blasien. We can stroll through the city or visit the cathedral with its impressive dome. On our way we come past the beautifully situated lake Albstausee, before we come back to houses on the forest nature trail.
Author's recommendation
A visit of the cathedral in St. Blasien is a special highlight of the tour for everyone.
Directions
We start our tour with crossing the main street and rounding the bend to Abendweide. At the next fork, we turn left onto Kohlerbückenweg where we walk along the Windberg Waterfalls down to St. Blasien. A sightseeing stop at the stunning cathedral is a must. There is still time to stroll through the small town and put some power in your step. We go along the bypass and follow the Albsee Lake Path to Albstau Lake. From here, we walk along the Albsee until Schanzenweg, from there to Untere Albtalschanze, and then to Obere Albtalschanze. Take the Wolfsbrunnenweg back to the underpass at the forester’s lodge. The nature trail takes you back to Häusern and rounds off a tour chock full of variety.
Equipment
We recommend sturdy shoes!
