Hornisgrinde Raised Bog Information Board

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here you can find information about the raised bog and the peat moss. The peat moss is also exposed, allowing you to see the lower soil layers of the bog. Please do not enter the raised bog.

Bismarck Tower, Hornisgrinde

Highlight • Monument

Small observation tower with interesting landmarks on the railing, for example sunrise and sunset on solstice days or direction and distance to Kehl, Strasbourg, Vienna or Lima. The view is stunning.

A nice round through the forest and over the Hornisgrinde. The wide view panorama was a bit cloudy but the main thing is to keep moving 🥾🥾

The weather report said: ☀️-Schein in the Black Forest.

The path led us past the frozen Mummelsee and up to the new Grinde hut. Great views over the cloud-covered landscape in …

It's probably always like this and hell on weekends. Wanted to enjoy the view of the Hornigsrinde and take a break, but no way too busy. …

Hornisgrinde and Grindhütte - always beautiful. On one of the last hikes I particularly liked the section of the Seensteig that leads up to the Grinde. Maybe you can plan for that?

April 11, 2025,Hornisgrinde

Today we drove back to the Black Forest. The Hornisgrinde was our destination. During the week and early enough, the hiking trails there aren't too crowded. We parked at the Seibelseckle, where there was still some remnant snow on the slope. We quickly reached Mummelsee, where everything was still quiet. The path then led us uphill to the Hornisgrinde. We …
