Schluchtensteig Stage 5: St. Blasien - Todtmoos

This route follows stage 5 of the Schluchtensteig and connects St. Blasien with Todtmoos on a scenically diverse section. The hike first leads up to the Lehenkopf Tower, which offers wide views of the St. Blasien Dome, before crossing the open mountain meadows of the Hotzenwald. Special highlights include the idyllic Klosterweiher pond and the glacial high valley of Ibach with panoramic views stretching all the way to the Swiss Alps, followed by a switchback-filled descent through the romantic Hohwehra Gorge directly into the spa town of Todtmoos. Overnight stays are possible in guesthouses or at campsites in St. Blasien and Todtmoos; wild camping is strictly prohibited throughout the nature park. Drinking water is available in the trail towns as well as in Ibach, though a sufficient supply should be carried for the forest and meadow sections. Both the starting point and destination are excellently connected to the regional bus network; schedules and information can be found at https://www.bwegt.de.
