View from Hochblauen

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Hochblauen is looking for its equal! There is a great view in almost every direction. In the direction of Switzerland, if the weather is good, even a sensational view of the Alps 😊

April 10, 2023,Badenweiler - Blauen

just caught the view of the Alps, but it was no longer worth photographing. A recommended round from Badenweiler, with a subsequent visit to the Cassiopeia thermal baths/sauna. We had planned to, but then decided to have a cozy evening with delicious fresh cooking at home...

November 19, 2021,Hochblauen im Wolkenmeer

Today we went spontaneously to the Hochblauen. From a parking bay above Badenweiler I walked on beautiful, narrow paths steeply uphill through the autumn forest. When I arrived at the summit, I enjoyed the view from the Blue Tower of the Black Forest Association over the sea of fog, the Black Forest and as far as the Alps. While those …

April 22, 2023,Von Badenweiler zum Blauen

Today at the beginning of the sun from Badenweiler over the old man all the way up to the blue and back again in an arc. Up on varied paths, sometimes flat, sometimes steep, but always in the forest. Down then almost always single trail and uniform gradient. Here, too, almost entirely forest. So rather something for warm summer days. …

January 15, 2022,Hochblauen

Today we did a lap over the Hochblauen in the best weather, which I had already scouted out in autumn. The starting point was a parking bay on the L140 between Badenweiler and the Hochblauen. Past the Prinzensitz we went uphill on beautiful narrow paths to the Belchenblick refuge and on to the summit. On a bench below the Blauenturm …

October 10, 2023,Badenweiler - Alter Mann - Hirschmatt - Blauen (1165 m) - Belchenblick - Prinzensitz - Sophienruhe - Badenweiler

Hello friends of well-groomed hiking,

Markgräflerland was the destination of a hike I led. The Blauen - also called Hochblauen - was the destination of the tour. Unfortunately the group only consisted of four hikers; the rest were unable to do so for various reasons. Still a nice tour with nice conversations.

A fantastic hike from start to finish. First you go to Baden Castle, from which you have a beautiful panoramic view of Badenweiler and the surrounding area. Then it's off to the ascent to the Hochblauen. This runs almost exclusively on beautiful narrow paths. At the Prinzensitz you have the first beautiful long-distance view which is really terrific when you …

October 9, 2021,Beim "Alten-Mann-Felsen" – Hochblauen Runde von Badenweiler

Haha..What a nice tour ... Despite the navigation, we kept coming back from the prescribed paths and ultimately made something of our own out of it ... 😊 ... 15 km that were really worth it.

July 4, 2023,Hochblauen unter den Wolken

Today in a different direction 😉-this time on the Hochblauen.
I didn't know the ascent from Sehringen, so I started there and after the first kilometer landed on a path that has certainly not been walked by anyone in recent years. So first of all, we're struggling a bit and crackling over dead wood. Luckily not too long - on …
