December 6, 2022,Nikolaustag 🎅🏽: Wanderung von Hau-Hau-Hau über Belchen zum Nonnenmattweiher

On St. Nicholas Day 🎅🏽 I decided to hike from Hau via the Belchen to the Nonnenmattweiher. It was exactly the right decision.
Great weather with a view of the Alps and the special thing about it was: I found the Belchen summit deserted because the Belchenbahn was not running (revision) and the inn was closed.

September 10, 2023,Neuenweg zum Belchen

We started from Neuenweg, via Hau to Böllener Eck and then a dream path - again and again in the shade of old, gnarled beeches up to the Belchenhaus. Shortly beforehand, several hawks and buzzards competed to use the updraft. So far we haven't met a soul - all the more of them were on the road now. Up to …

All in all, a nice path.... albeit a bit exhausting. Beautiful, sometimes lonely, paths. However towards Belchen it became more and more crowded.

A great hike up the Belchen from Neuenweg via Nonnenmattweiher up to the Belchen and back to Neuenweg. Be sure to keep left at km 9.3 and take the short detour via the Münstertal side. It's worth it. Unfortunately, there was no view of the Alps today due to too much Sahara dust in the air. Climbing the Belchen via …

With the bad weather today, I thought for a long time whether I wouldn't rather stay dry...but during a short break in the rain I let myself be tempted to quickly drive up the Sirnitz and pay a visit to the Belchen...
It started today at the corner between Vorderheubronn and Neuenweg - the first part on the asphalt down …

April 14, 2024,Auf zum Belchen und zum Nonnenmattweiher

We did this tour in mid-April before the snow came. For me, it is one of the most beautiful tours in the southern Black Forest. It starts at Haldenhof and then takes you along scenic paths to Belchen with a fantastic view of the Alps. From here, it is 700 meters downhill to Neuenweg before going uphill again to the …

Hiked today from the Haldenhof to the Belchen and on via Neuenweg to the Nonnenmattweiher. Very nice, promising and varied tour without much forest and therefore ideal for spring and autumn.
