November 11, 2024,"Schwarzwälder" Schinkenweg ab Tiefenhäusern

Highlights:

Tiefenhäuser Moor
Nice little nature reserve with special flora.

Marienkapelle
Chapel, more modern construction. The view is more impressive here than the architecture of the chapel. Still attractive.

Info:

As the weather and temperatures improved, we decided to go for a nice hike. We parked in Höchenschwand and then headed first to the Zäpfleturm (Zäpfle Tower). Then we continued along beautiful forest paths, along scenic spots, through an interesting moorland, and through small, charming villages back to the car.

The historic Gasthaus Rössle in Tiefenhäuser, where the tour also begins, is definitely worth a visit. In summer, you can sit outside under the ancient linden tree and enjoy local specialties. The restaurant itself, with its old tiled stove, is also worth seeing.
