\"Black<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Experience the high southern Black Forest from its most pristine side: rugged, mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the legendary Schluchtensteig trail<\/strong>, you hike over 6 stages in 8 days from\u00a0St\u00fchlingen to Wehr<\/strong> through spectacular gorges, over panoramic heights and past crystal-clear lakes - without any heavy luggage, as your suitcase travels comfortably from hotel to hotel. You only need to carry what you need for the day on your back - the small bag ... <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights such as the\u00a0Wutach Gorge<\/strong>, the\u00a0Haslach Gorge<\/strong>, the\u00a0Schluchsee<\/strong>, the mighty\u00a0Feldberg<\/strong> and the\u00a0Wehraschlucht gorge<\/strong> make every stage a first-class nature experience. Every day, a new gorge is waiting to be discovered - wild, deep and full of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hiking week is as varied as it is challenging - and that's exactly what makes it unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

> an 8-day hiking tour with 7 overnight stays<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Luggage transportation from hotel to hotel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Maps & tour information<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Optional: return transfer to the starting point<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your adventure begins in the Wutachschlucht, the Grand Canyon of the Black Forest - and ends with a look into the depths of the Wehraschlucht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You will stay overnight in Schwatzwald-typical, familiar middle-class hotels of the ***-star category and in inns directly along the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catering<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every day a rich hiking breakfast is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route and requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

> You hike mostly on forest and secluded hiking trails, always accompanied by magnificent views.
The terrain is well secured. We mainly - but not exclusively - follow the Schluchtensteig trail<\/a>. This long-distance hiking trail is excellently signposted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

> Some of the paths lead over steep, impassable trails. Typical hiking surefootedness<\/strong> is therefore important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> The ascents and descents in the Black Forest are easy to manage with a good basic level of fitness over walking times of up to 7 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

> The trip is suitable for people with reduced mobility\u00a0not suitable<\/strong>. Please contact us for detailed information if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrival<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We usually recommend traveling by train. St\u00fchlingen on the German-Swiss border near Schaffhausen also has a train station - and yes, trains do run from time to time. You can reach St\u00fchlingen by public transport from Waldshut, for example. Plan your journey at https:\/\/bahn.de.<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you're not coming from Switzerland or the southwest, we honestly recommend traveling by car this time. You are coming from the east or via the A81 Stuttgart-Bodensee. Take the Donaueschingen exit and continue on the B27 towards Schaffhausen until the B314 junction, then head towards Waldshut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the west, take the A5 Karlsruhe-Basel. Take the Freiburg Mitte exit, continue on the B31 towards Donaueschingen, Titisee towards Feldberg and finally towards Schaffhausen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Free and unguarded outdoor parking is available near the hotel, no pre-reservation required or possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return journey<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From Wehr, we will take you back to St\u00fchlingen by transfer. Please make sure you book the return journey option in advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
