August 14, 2026, Karlsruher Grat – Western View

Coming from the west, the first point with a great view and also easily accessible from the west - the difficult sections come further east.

Schnappsbrunnen with a smaller selection, but certainly lovingly made. Cooling is not done electrically but with cold (spring?) water flowing between the drink crates.

During the last ice age (approx. 70,000 to 10,000 years ago), the entire Hornisgrinde area was covered by a firn cap, i.e. snow that became denser and more compact due to the pressure of new snow masses and repeated melting and freezing. On the eastern flank of the Hornisgrinde, more snow accumulated in the area of (spring) niches than in the immediate surroundings. Over time, small hanging glaciers formed, which carved out two hollows (cirques) from the Bunter Sandstone cliff: the Kleine and Große Biberkessel. After the ice retreated, a lake formed in both cirques. The lake in the Große Biberkessel has long since silted up, whereas in the Kleine Biberkessel – in a moorland area – a small remnant lake still exists. Like many other silting-up or endorheic lakes in the Black Forest, it is called a "Blindsee" (blind lake).
