A very idyllic and popular circular hike along the Edelfrauengrab waterfalls and over the Karlsruher Grat (Black Forest Leisure Path). The walking time is 3.5 hours.

    Challenging circular hiking trail in the Black Forest Central/North Nature Park, Baden-Württemberg. This is a fantastic, but also quite strenuous hike in the Black Forest. It goes up the highest mountain in the northern Black Forest: the Hornisgrinde, which is characterized by high moorland landscapes. 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...

    This diverse route leads through the wildly romantic landscape of the Northern Black Forest around the "mill village" of Ottenhöfen. The path explores striking rock formations, following a challenging mixture of narrow natural trails, steep rock stairways, and root-covered forest paths. A central highlight is the bizarre rock structures such as the Karlsruher Grat (nearby) and the Edelfrauengrab waterfalls, which plunge spectacularly through the ravine. In the dense fir and spruce forests and...
