The magic of the Black Forest: A hike from houses to Feldberg
The mountains are calling! And for many, that means the beginning of an adventure. The Black Forest, with its dense forests and picturesque landscapes, is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. One of the most impressive routes is the Albsteig, which takes hikers through some of the most beautiful parts of this region.
A morning start
The journey begins early in the morning, with anticipation of what lies ahead. Despite the unsettled weather, the mood is positive. Nature shows its capricious side, but that doesn't stop true adventurers.
The first steps into adventure
The path leads through dense forests, past the impressive Cathedral of St. Blasien. Soon the gentle splashing of a waterfall can be heard. The Windberg waterfall, a natural spectacle where the water flows over moss-covered stones. A sight that makes every nature lover's heart beat faster.
Crossroads and decisions
As with many adventures, there are crossroads where decisions have to be made. A sawmill serves as a landmark. Despite the rain, we continue towards Menzenschwand. Once there, the bells of the Sebastian chapel announce lunchtime.
The beauty of the Menzenschwander waterfall
Another highlight of the trip is the Menzenschwander waterfall. The water that cascades over the moss-covered stones offers a spectacular natural spectacle. A place that is very popular with visitors to the Black Forest.
Towards new heights
After the impressive waterfall we go up to a hill, the so-called Ziegenhof. Although the goats are hidden, the place offers a breathtaking view of the Menzenschwander high valley and the snow-capped Feldberg massif. The path continues past cairns and other watercourses.
The goal in sight
The last part of the journey is a climb in serpentines to the top of the Feldberg Pass. After this strenuous but worthwhile climb you finally reach Feldberg, the destination of this impressive hike.
Conclusion
With its picturesque landscapes and impressive natural wonders, the Black Forest offers an unforgettable experience for outdoor enthusiasts. The Albsteig is just one of the many routes that lead through this beautiful region. Every step on this path is a step into an adventure that will be remembered for a long time.
