Stepping Stones over the Monbach

Highlight • Bridge

When the water level is normal, it is not a problem to walk over the stones and cross the stream. Up to the upper part of the gorge there are several crossings that arouse enthusiasm, especially among children.

Monakamer Weg

Highlight • Trail

Steep natural path as a direct connection to the Monbachtal. Either you go the straight way over lots of stones or slightly elevated, but you have to climb over some roots.

The stream will be crossed several times.
The stones can be very slippery depending on the weather.
I would also recommend walking sticks for safety.

May 18, 2026,Schellbronn - Hohe Warte und Monbachtal Runde 👍

While randomly rummaging through old hikes, I stumbled upon this tour through the Monbach and Nagold valley and past the Hohe Warte tower, which has unfortunately since been dismantled. So, although it was a repeat accompanied by some drizzle, this circular tour is definitely worth hiking again after some time.

Driven by the heat 🥵, we set off early in the morning into the Nagold valley. At the start of the tour in Unterreichenbach in the district of Calw, it was still pleasantly bearable 🫠. Flotation was once of great economic importance for the place and is still celebrated today with the annual "Talhubenfest".
From the station, we went over …

Beautiful and varied round. High up on the High Waiting Tower, seven brass band musicians even presented various pieces of music live - they played really well. Unfortunately, it rained almost continuously except for the last 4km.
... but we're not made of sugar😉 it was still wonderful!

Very nice hike with Claudia. After the Hohe Warte I would recommend a different option, as you don't necessarily have to see Schellbronn....
The rest was great. 😁😁😁
