Hiking vacation Germany: From Lake Titisee to Lake Constance

Day 1: Individual arrival at Lake Titisee

Already the arrival is an experience!

Take the train up the Höllental from Freiburg or come from the direction of Donaueschingen. The Dreisam Railway is worth the trip. At Titisee station, please get off the train – even if it’s a little hard. Perhaps you will have the opportunity later to continue to Schluchsee.

Continue by bus to Saig above the lake on the slope of the Hochfirst or by cab directly to your starting hotel.

Our tip: Travel relaxed one day earlier. We will gladly book an extra night for you in Saig. Please select “Extra night at departure point” when booking.

Day 2: From Titisee into the Wutach gorge to the Schattenmühle, approx. 20 km, 300 m altitude +, 600 m -.

Do you know the Grand Canyon of the Black Forest? The Wutach gorge is an experience. The Wutach river has dug deep into the bedrock and created steep rock faces.

As the river overflows its banks again and again with the melting of the snow in spring and torrential rains in summer, as the water backs up and rages in the narrow valley, the gorge changes its face from year to year. But it is always worth a trip!

You will spend the night in the Schattenmühle or similar accommodation.

Day 3: From Schattenmühle to Blumberg, approx. 20 km, 400 m altitude +, 400 m -.

Today you will hike along the wonderful Wutach river. There is plenty of opportunity to rest by the river. The Wutach Mill offers you the opportunity to stop for a break or a Black Forest bite to eat at the hiking kiosk before the last third of the trail. Always follow the river. Shortly before your stage destination, the river turns south at Achdorf towards the Rhine Valley.

You climb up to Blumberg past the Schleifenbach waterfalls and reach your destination for the day. After a good 20 km you arrive at the Gänseleiselbrunnen of the Narrenzünfte in Blumberg.

Day 4: From Blumberg to Tengen, approx. 16 km, 400 m altitude +, 500 m altitude -.

The trail leads you today first up to the Buchberg with a great wide view of the Black Forest and Hegau. Then you follow the Sauschwänzlebahn with its impressive viaducts for a while. Through forest and valley you hike past the Blauer Stein, a testimony of Hegau volcanism 10 to 16 million years ago, to Tengen.

Day 5: From Tengen to Engen, approx. 15 km, 250 m altitude +, 350 m altitude -.

Pass the Wannenberg and follow the Alte Postweg to the Duggenhart. From here, with good visibility, you have a wonderful view of the white snow-covered Alps. You will walk comfortably through the harmony of the field and forest landscape to the old flower town of Engen.

Day 6: From Engen via Hohentwiel to Singen, approx. 23 km, 730 m altitude +, 830 m -.

Today you will hike through the volcanic country of the Hegau: Hohentwiel, Hohenstoffeln, Hohenkrähen, Mägdeberg, Hohenhewen, Neuhewen and the Höwenegg are strung together.

If you like, you can climb the fortress mountain Hohentwiel at the end of the tour. You will be rewarded with a magnificent panorama of the lake and the Alps – and learn a lot about German – German – French history, volcanism and fortress construction.

Day 7: From Singen to Lake Constance to Radolfzell, approx. 25 km, 400 m altitude +, 430 m -.

Finally, the cross-country trail leads you past the Friedinger Schlössle through Steißlingen to the Homberg ruins.
