Located in the middle of the Black Forest National Park, the Wildsee exudes a kind of calm. An achievement for the animal and plant world.

Darmstädter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Always delicious food and drinks. There is plenty of outdoor seating around the hut. The hut is located directly on the Westweg and is therefore also a good stopover with overnight accommodation.

This way you will pass the Mummelseenixe directly.
The Mummelseenixe is enthroned on a rock in the Mummelsee on the northern edge of the lake. A description of the legend of the mermaids in Mummelsee is attached to the shore.

July 9, 2023,Ruhestein-Seibelseck-Mummelsee

This morning I drove the X45 from Baden-Baden train station to the Ruhestein without a fixed plan. Now we went on foot over a view of the Wildsee Seibelseck to the Mummelsee, which was already quite well visited when I arrived. Now it's back to Baden-Baden by bus.

After yesterday's strenuous tour, today was supposed to be more relaxing. I took the bus from Baiersbronn to the Ruhestein National Park Center, which has an interesting exhibition about life in the national park. Worth seeing!

October 25, 2022,Hornisgrinde - Mummelsee - Ruhestein 🌤 🌬

At 1164 m, the Hornisgrinde is the highest mountain in the northern Black Forest. First action: put on your jacket, hat and bowl – even when the sun is shining it can be cool and windy!
