Ascent is from St. Blasien. We parked in the Lidl car park on Sunday (no guarantee). Otherwise, parking costs anywhere in St. Blasien.
From there it goes directly to the Lehenkopf Tower with a great view. From there to the Albstausee where you can rest well. The last stage takes you via houses to the Wildberg waterfalls.

The lake is very idyllic and beautiful to look at.

Spontaneously assembled a tour with known and new highlights around St. Blasien today...

Up to the observation tower or shortly thereafter, the tour runs on a piece of the gorge trail, then unfortunately there is a longer stretch on roadways. At least the road from the tower to the reservoir was mowed and therefore easy to walk on.
