Wooden Bridge Trail by the Waterfall (Naturpark Schwarzwald Mitte/Nord)

Highlight • Trail

A very beautiful path with roots and lots of rocks; sturdy footwear is required. When it rains, the paths are very wet and the rocks are slippery.

Edelfrauengrab Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

You can let your imagination run wild at the waterfalls and the noble woman's grave. The stainless steel railing is a bit annoying, but you can hold on to when the path becomes uneven

The Karlsruher Grat is particularly fun when the sun is shining.
Taking a break in the rocks, enjoying the sun and the view ⛰️ ☀️ 🐕

I wanted to go back and forth along the ridge, not the circular route

Keeping a long story short. After work on the Karlsruhe path, let the pig out for a moment => a blessing.

The time given is incorrect. The Schlicker Steig as a shortcut back is extremely steep and slippery due to stones and rubble. Even with T3 shoes it was very difficult

Part 2 of the hiking weekend. In a smaller group, after the first tour, you continue straight to the Karlsruher Grat for a somewhat more demanding tour than part 1. First it goes uphill through a beautiful gorge along the Gottschlägbach with many waterfalls and the noblewoman's grave. Further up we come across the first larger rock formation, the Herrenschrofen …

This weekend we were at a church retreat in All Saints' Day.
On Saturday afternoon after lunch we went with 🚗 to Ottenhöfen and then via the Edelfrauengrab to the Karlsruher Grat. 🏞⛰ My first climbing experience - I didn't make it to the cross.
But the ridge and the noblewoman's grave are just great!

A really really great tour.
Both big and small climbing fans will get their money’s worth here.

You can easily avoid areas that are too demanding for you and in the end everyone meets up again on the same path.

If the stones are wet, it makes sense to skip the passage as there is a risk of slipping.

Nice hike, not that many kilometers but exhausting. Unfortunately pretty crowded on the weekend.
