Wonderful, varied circular hike in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg.
A beautiful hike that is worthwhile in both summer and winter. From the Bücherbronn observation tower you have a great all-round view of the landscape. The tower itself is also something special: It was built in 1883 and is probably one of the oldest steel lattice towers in the world.
