Hiking

The second-highest peak in the Black Forest after the Feldberg and its subsidiary peaks, the Herzogenhorn is far less well-known than its neighboring mountain opposite, and therefore considerably quieter. The view, however, is almost even more impressive: From here, the view sweeps across the Feldberg, and on a clear day,…

Krunkelbachsattel Mountain Meadow

Highlight • Natural

The wide alpine pastures at the Krunkelbachsattel form a beautiful mountain meadow landscape and, depending on the direction of view, offer wonderful views of the Spießhörner, the Herzogenhorn and the Krunkelbachhütte.

March 3, 2024,Fatburner Herzogenhorn

Today I felt like the summit feeling again, so I went to the Herzogenhorn. Unfortunately the weather was worse than predicted yesterday. I have a love-hate relationship with this tour. I love the peace and quiet as it is not very busy, but I mentally curse the entire climb and hope that I can make it up without a stroke. …

August 3, 2025,Von Menzenschwand auf's Herzogenhorn

It was finally somewhat dry, so today we headed for the Herzogenhorn. We parked in Menzenschwand (€6/day) and then climbed a flat path, then a fairly steep one. At the top, there were fantastic panoramic views, but also a surprising number of people. Then we returned to the Feldberg Pass, where we had cake at the Menzenschwand Hut. The way …

My stomach-legs-butt program today took me from Menzenschwand to the Herzogenhorn. There's also a bit of cardio training on two steep climbs.
There was already a good wind on the way, but then really strong gusts swept over the summit. That's why the part for the stomach 🥪🍅☕ only happened on the descent.
Always a comfortable tour, albeit mostly on …

With a long break on the summit, the total time was just under 5 hours. Extremely great view of the Swiss Alps! All in all, a nice and relaxed round trip!

I parked on the right side of the street above the bus parking lot. On the other hand, it costs € 10 parking fee for one day.

February 3, 2024,Menzenschwander Runde

Very nice tour with Meet5. We started in Menzenschwand. All parking spaces there are now chargeable (6 euros). First we went to the Menzenschwander waterfalls. They're short, but really worth it. Continue on a narrow path and on a wider path towards Feldberg. There was actually still skiing going on there. We didn't necessarily expect that. We quickly worked our …

July 30, 2025,Menzenschwander Tal und Geissenpfad ab Feldberg

The starting point was the pass on the Feldberg. From there, the hike climbed to the Grafenmatt summit (1377 m). Continued toward Bernau and the high moor. From there, the hike continued toward Menzenschwand and the waterfall there. It was a beautiful valley trail through meadows and paths, with small waterfalls along the way. We took a short break and …
