Walking Tour in Schwarzwald

Science tells us that healing of the soul walks hand in hand with healing of the body. Literally. Therefore, we offer hiking tour, in one of the most beautiful places on Earth – Schwartzwald (Black Forest) in Germany. Its 120km (73 miles) long Schluchtensteig trail takes you through the wild canyons and gentle meadows, cozy villages and serene waters, adorned with a view of the peak Feldberg and Swiss Alps.

It will test your endurance and reward you with lifelong memories. This is perfect adventure for most of the year, especially summer, when greenery forms thick curtains that keep civilization out of sight. Upon entering the forest, it is easy to understand how Grimm brothers had created their fairy tales. Besides hiking, we offer biking tour through this nature’s gem in the southern part of Schwartzwald. Pack your walking shoes or mountain bike and set your mind to overpower elevation of 3000 meters. Leave your luggage transfer, accommodation and trip details to us. You will never regret it.

The distances and ascents/descents are approximations of the recommended routes. Please be prepared by packing all necessary items, for example proper rain gear, sun hat, sunscreen. Your information pack has detailed advice and a kit list on what to take. This includes good waterproof gear, walking shoes/boots, and lots of other useful bits and bobs.

Grade & Fitness

This tour involves some easy and sometimes more difficult sections, which is why we have classified it as moderate overall. There are narrow paths which are rocky, with exposed tree roots in some parts. There is a lot of undulating terrain which can be tiring and demanding. Some of the paths are precipitous so you should be sure-footed and have a head for heights. On the other hand, you will encounter many easy sections on wide forest tracks and trails. Also, you will always have the
opportunity to use the hiking bus on all stages with the Konus guest card. By doing so, you will ultimately decide for yourself how difficult and long each days’ walk is, and how you can tailor your journey to suit your fitness.

KONUS Guestcard

If you want to shorten a stage or skip it altogether, or if you want to return to Stühlingen at the end of the journey from Wehr, there is an extensive network of trains and buses in the region that you can use for free with the Konus guest card.
