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.

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 …

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 …

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.

Dream tour❗️

From start to finish, today was a great day 😃

Our plan was to go back to the Black Forest and do a tour there. As another hot day was forecast for today, 34°C 🥵, we went to higher regions... only 27°C there....😂

It was just amazing!... super beautiful, challenging, exhausting and just awesome.
