This trail connects the lakeside town of Schluchsee with the village of Altglashütten, traversing the protected landscapes of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park. The route proceeds from the Schluchsee shoreline towards the Windgfällweiher, a historic reservoir surrounded by dense coniferous forest. Path surfaces alternate between wide, crushed-stone forestry roads and softer, root-crossed earthen trails. The vegetation is dominated by stands of spruce and silver fir, which occasionally open to reveal moorland grasses near the water bodies. Conditions in the shaded forest sections often remain damp, a state frequently matched with sturdy, water-resistant footwear. The region is associated with recurring cross-country skiing and winter hiking events.
