Demanding Himmelswege circular hike in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg
This wonderful hike requires a good basic level of fitness and sturdy shoes for the different types of trail. Already at the beginning of the route there are steep ascents to be mastered. But the wonderful impressions make up for all the effort. The path leads along the beautiful high moor level through the Bannwald forest and to the Seibelseckle, where you are rewarded with magnificent views along the west path to the Rhine plain and the Vosges. In order to enjoy all this in peace and to take breaks, we recommend a stop at the hiking rest hut.
