Hiking

This contrasting circular hike takes you through the Black Forest National Park to the high moorland to the Wildseeblick and Eutinggrab. Great views of the Rhine plain and Vosges await you along the Westweg. The path is signposted as one of the Baiersbronner Himmelswege with a deer as a signpost.

Right at the beginning it goes uphill. At about four kilometers, the route takes you from the start in Hinterlangenbach from 700 meters up to almost 1,000 meters. After a short descent you will reach the Wilder See in the middle of the Bannwald. Time has already left its mark here and shows impressively how a "jungle of tomorrow" is being created here without human influence.

You go up a steep path again and make a detour to the Wildseeblick and Eutinggrab at 1,050 meters. The Darmstädter Hütte offers a first stop after about another kilometer. Now the path leads north along the western slope of the Black Forest, sloping slightly to the Seibelseckle. Along the Westweg you can enjoy magnificent views of the Rhine plain and up to the Vosges. The second place to stop is in the cozy Seibelseckle hiking rest hut.

Via the Brandhütte it goes down into the Langenbachtal to the game reserve and finally to the Auerhahn forester's lodge, where there is the third stop. The different Black Forest vegetation and wonderful views make every hiker's heart beat faster.

Forsthaus Auerhahn Hotel & Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

A place one dreams of. At the very end of the spring-fresh Langenbach, near Baiersbronn in the Black Forest. Where previously only woodcutters, carters, raftsmen and a few individual summer visitors came to the wellness paradise Forsthaus Auerhahn.

Wild lake

Highlight • Lake

The Wildsee is incredibly romantic. On hot days you are guaranteed to find a shady spot by the trees. Above the lake there is a small hut with seating. If you have the time, make sure to take the path to the Darmstädter Hütte, which is actually part of the Baiersbronner Bannwaldweg. It's worth it. The Wildsee, which is 910 meters high and almost twelve meters deep, creates a wonderful atmosphere. Pure, undisturbed sounds of nature and not a lot of people. A place to unwind.

View of Wildsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The small lake is below the west path. At some points you have a nice view down. There is also a small branch down to the lake.

Darmstädter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Always delicious food and drinks. There is plenty of outdoor seating around the hut. The hut is located directly on the Westweg and is therefore also a good stopover with overnight accommodation.

If you look through the viewing tube, you can see what the area looked like when it was still covered with ice.

March 19, 2023,Baiersbronner Himmelsweg: Bannwald-Tour
this time we are hiking in the Black Forest again and have walked the Bannwald Tour, one of the Baiersbronner Himmelswege. From around mid-March, the closures on the tour will be removed again. This allowed us to go back to the Wildsee and the great path to the Darmstädter Hütte.

A fantastic tour through the mystical Black Forest, especially the fog, which really added to the experience 😍🥰
Highly recommended and worth seeing

A wonderful, varied and entertaining route. We are on wide paths, narrow, rocky, rooty, wet and dry paths. I am really impressed ☺️.....

Circular hike in the "Baiersbronn Wanderhimmel" in borderline weather.

In connection with a motorcycle tour, I went hiking in the Black Forest National Park.
I parked in the public forest parking lot at the forester's house Auerhahn.
From there it goes down a few steps and then over a steep path in the forest up to the Brandhütte. From there …

I started at the hiking car park behind the Hotel Auernhahn. At first it's a gentle uphill walk, then there are steep paths up to the former Falzhütte with a height difference of around 300 metres 🥵 I was sweating in this weather today. Continue on to the beautiful Wildsee 🤩 where I was besieged by ducks 🦆🦆🦆 who wanted …

Hello everyone,

After not hearing anything from me about the Black Forest in a while, here's another beautiful, scenic hike. My sweetheart canceled the tour at the last minute 😔. But for health reasons, I understand and bring you some lovely pictures.

This morning I decided at short notice to go hiking again. I found this 13.22 km tour on the internet, which you could even start at Seibelseckle.
schwarzwald-tourismus.info/touren/baiersbronner-himmelsweg-bannwald-tour-cff070e847


Accordingly, I didn't get to the top until around 10 a.m. But the weather deterred some hikers. The parking lot was still relatively empty. But it was cold and very windy. The …
