September 29, 2024,Wanderung Runde Zollhaus - Schenkenzell/Schenkenburg Schiltach

A great round from Aichhalden-Zollhaus. After the start, the tour first leads down a forest path towards Schenkenzell. There are beautiful views in between. On the outskirts of Schenkenzell you then cross the Kinzig and follow a quite idyllic path towards Schiltach. After crossing the road as quickly as possible, a beautiful path leads to the Schenkenburg ruins, which …

A hike with two highlights: the town of Schiltach and the ruins of the Schenkenburg. The rest of the tour leads through the forest, where forest lovers can discover many interesting things. Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
The town of Schilten is definitely recommended. In the old town, many houses from the 18th century have been painstakingly restored. The …

May 11, 2022,Ruine Schenkenburg, Altstadt von Schiltach und zurück nach Schenkenzell

This hike ideally combines history and beautiful nature. The castle ruins of Schenkenburg, Schiltach and the Schlossberg are historical highlights. You have to bring a little more time to process everything. On the other hand, the hike through the beautiful nature in the Kinzig valley is another pleasure. Moderately difficult with a few steep paths.

Really worthwhile tour: Beautiful half-timbered structure in the old town of Schiltach, climb to the Schlossberg with a beautiful view over the city and the Kinzigtal. You mainly walk on beautiful forest paths and paths with many viewpoints. On the way you can stop off at the Schwenkenhof (closed in winter) and the Schenkenburg.
