Look forward to an outing with an extra dose of adventure!
The 3,5 km long narrow woodland path of the Wilderness Trail (Wildnisspfad) in the northern end of the National Park is a very special experience of nature.
Walkers should be surefooted and in good physical condition. As soon as you leave the "Plättig" information point be prepared to climb over rocks, upturned roots or thick tree trunks - and sometimes crawl underneath.
The best place to take a break is the Eagle´s Eyrie (Adlerhorst) which opened in 2017. Safe and secure you can rest and experience the world from the height of seven meters.
The name "Wilderness Trail" comes for a reason.
After a devastating storm destroyed a large proportion of the 150 year old trees in 1999, you can now experience how new life is sprouting from dead wood if it is left alone to develope.
The Black Forest National Park offers guided hikes along the Wildnispfad
hiking trail in Baden-Baden, provided by national park rangers.
