Loop
Impressive, idyllic loop in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg.
This wild and romantic hike takes you around the Huzenbachsee. As one of the three cirque lakes in the Black Forest National Park, the body of water arose during the last ice age. The impressive cirque walls with their spectacular rock formations rise above the lake. The lake is not suitable for swimming, but a testimony of what nature does where man does not interfere: wild activity of various birds and other animals, as well as a diverse flora. In some places the path is quite steep. Good shoes and a corresponding basic level of fitness are recommended.
Highlights of the hike:
- Huzenbachsee view
- Seitenbach waterfall
- wild nature in all its glory
