Description
Start at the hiking information centre and follow the hiking trail signs to the Sankenbach valley. Stay on the Sankenbachstrasse until the Kienbachstrasse branches off to the right and takes you into the small side valley. Initially along a narrow watercourse, the cleared path makes a sharp right turn. At the next fork, keep left and from there follow the signs for the winter hiking trail for 3.5 km to the Sankenbachsee lake. The lake, which lies deep in the Karmulde, is circumnavigated halfway. The paved winter hiking trail goes slightly uphill in a wide curve out of the basin to the Rosskopf Hut. Shortly after the barrier, turn left at the crossroads. After about 2 kilometres you will reach the car park at the red deer enclosure. Halfway along the trail, you have the option of taking a detour to the Glasmännlehütte restaurant. Otherwise, follow the Sankenbachstrasse out of the valley and after 2 kilometres you will reach your starting point. Note: There are no more winter hiking signs from the Rotwildgehege car park onwards.
Author's recommendation
If snow conditions permit, there is a nice alternative by choosing the left-hand path: you can walk completely around the lake and follow the hiking trail along the Sankenbach stream at the outlet. This path is not cleared, there is usually a small trail.
Equipment
There may be a danger of slipping and ice on all cleared forest paths.
The Hiking Information Centre offers ice claws for hire. More information at www.baiersbronn.de/verleih
