- 4.7 (66)·Moderate·1.6 kmBeautiful excursion in the Black Forest National Park, Baden-Württemberg The Edelfrauen waterfalls are a popular excursion destination in the Karlsruher Grat nature reserve and inspire visitors with their wild and romantic atmosphere.

There is a restaurant near the starting point at the Edelfrauengrab car park.
- 4.8 (39)·Hard·27.8 kmChallenging circular hiking trail in the Black Forest Nature Park Centre/North, Baden-Württemberg. This is a fantastic, but also quite strenuous hike in the Black Forest.

Along the way you will also find the Mummelsee lake (which can also get very crowded on warm summer days and weekends) and several rustic huts where you can stop for refreshments. The starting...
