April 29, 2025,Triberg - Blindensee - Schönwald Runde

Early in the morning, we travel from Baden-Baden to Triberg on the Black Forest Railway. We climb the Himmelsleiter (Stairway to Heaven) from the train station and descend through the forest along the central slope to Triberg. Shortly after 9 a.m., we arrive at the waterfalls. There are only a few visitors at the falls. We pay the €8 entrance …

December 31, 2022,Sylvesterwanderung, - Wanderung von Schönwald zum Blindensee

Hard to believe!
It's December 31st!!!
In Schönwald, where our tour begins, the thermometer shows 15 degrees and a warm, gusty south-west wind is blowing!
More like spring - but by no means suitable for
the last day of the year! 😳
First the path leads us through the residential area in the direction of the edge of the forest, …

May 1, 2026,Blindensee & Triberger Wasserfälle - Runde von Schönwald im Schwarzwald

Impressions from a round in the Black Forest 😀
At the beginning still the "old" Adlerschanze from Schönwald ...
Including the Triberg Waterfalls 👍
Maybe go there another day. Was not alone there on May 1st. Had to wait a bit until the pictures were in the can ...
And towards the end a surprising "local" animal 😳

June 4, 2022,Vom Kurort Schönwald durch den Landschaftsgarten, über Schwarzenbach, Hochmoore und dem traumhaften Blindensee zu Deutschlands höchsten Wasserfällen bei Triberg

Today I set out on my second longer hike, which I designed as an afternoon and evening hike and which is another "delicacy" of the countless hiking highlights in the Black Forest.

Last but not least, the free entry to the waterfalls from 7 p.m., combined with a smaller crowd in the evening hours, but also the cooler temperatures were …

July 16, 2023,Schönwald - Blindensee - Adelheid⭐️⭐️

After yesterday I felt like an alpine plant in the tropical greenhouse, today after the rain it starts in Schönwald with very pleasant temperatures, where I also find the sunny sections pleasant. There are only a few non-time-limited parking spaces in front of the multi-purpose hall. An alternative is the parking lot at the football field at the end of …
