Ellbach Lake

Highlight • Lake

Very nice place. When the foliage changes color at the end of September / beginning of October, you get a bit of the "Canada feeling".

Ellbachkopf Wildlife Enclosure

Highlight • Natural

This idyllic game reserve is especially fun for children. Because with a bit of luck you will see an impressive deer and if not, there is luckily a great playground just a few meters away.

May 30, 2024,Baiersbronner Seensteig - Etappe 1

First day on the Baiersbronner Seensteig 😎 Great trail, weather.... Let's just say it was a little damp from above 🌧️🌧️🌧️

About the trail itself: Great route up to a small alpine section 🥰 In addition, true to the name, there are 2 lakes, the Sankenbach waterfalls, 2 game reserves and much more. Great stage 🥰

On the Seensteig, hikers can walk around the entire Baiersbronn area in five days and discover incomparable landscapes. It was voted one of the most beautiful hiking trails by the German Hiking Association. The Seensteig runs around Baiersbronn, along the municipal border and leads to cirque lakes and peaks. The Seensteig has its own signpost.

I would not have thought that the Black Forest is so varied to hike through. 👍

Hello, everyone.
Today is hiking. Still in the Black Forest, but now around Baiersbronn. The first stage is over, and what can I say, just great. Look at the pictures and then do it yourself

Nice hike with a climb on nature/root path to the Sankenbach waterfall. And a steeper descent on a root path from the Ellbachseeblick down to the Ellbachsee. Otherwise it's more on simple forest roads straight on.

Technology was not my friend today. The start of the tour is missing. We started at Baiersbronn train station along the initially asphalted access road towards Sankenbachsee. The path along the Sankenbach becomes more and more natural. A dream for everyone who likes natural trails over hill and dale. The climb up to the waterfall is great, as is the …

September 12, 2024,Seensteig 1. Etappe von Baiersbronn nach Mitteltal

Starting from the Hotel Falken in Baiersbronn, the path leads to the car park at the chairlift and then to the Sankenbachsee with a climb to the Sankenbach waterfall. You can switch it on and then the water rushes down. Unfortunately I couldn't switch it off and that's why the level of the Murg is rising.
Then it goes over …

January 6, 2023,Mitteltal - Ellbachsee - Sankenbachsee - Baiersbronn

Hike with my wife from Hotel Lamm in Baiersbronn-Mitteltal via Ellbachsee and Sankenbachsee to Baiersbronn and from there by bus back to the hotel. Fortunately the weather was better than expected - no rain. Unfortunately, I started with only 60% cell phone battery, so I couldn't take any more pictures with my smartphone after Sankenbachsee. From there the digital camera …
