Pilgrimage chapel in the forest above the city of Wolfach - a place of calm. Very worth seeing chapel. Be sure to visit the Holy Sepulcher. Sufficient seating is available.

The heart of the city of Schiltach is the market square in the old town. That was the case before, because this is where the important connecting routes through the Black Forest from the Strasbourg area and towards Rottweil come together. Schiltach was the last stop for those passing through before climbing into the Swabian region. The old town has been a listed building since 1971.

All information about the city and its sights can be found in the tourist information in the town hall.

Beautiful hike with Meet5 from Wolfach to Schiltach. From Wolfach train station through the little town, which impresses with its town gate and town hall. Then up the Jacobusweg on a beautiful path past the St. Jakobskapelle in the rustling leaves. The Brechhöheweg is sometimes a road, past Hoben. Then the Kuhstraße, partly through the forest, then on a very …

A beautiful tour through the autumn forest. Mostly on wide forest paths with little technical requirements. In the middle section there is an almost unavoidable section on a road with little traffic.
Be sure to stroll through the great little towns. Schiltach in particular, with its large number of half-timbered buildings and a highly recommended ice cream parlor in the …
