August 23, 2026,Bühlertal: Engelssteig und Schwarzwaldzauber

Summer has taken a break (much to my regret). So if the heat doesn't come from outside, it has to be generated internally. The carcass wants it warm, no matter the cost.
In this case, altitude meters and sweat. But it's self-chosen, toil is the spice mix of every enjoyable hike 😀

Bühlertal - Unholdfelsen, Wiedenfelsen, Gertelbachweg, Postman Weg, Brockenfelsen, Hertahütte and Falkenfelsen.
There should be a few highlights in the Bühlertal and more vertical meters than the Bremen dykes.
Start in the fog and abbreviated the Engelssteig in front of the loud babbling, but it still went up quite a bit. The path is wide and unspectacular past the Lourdes Grotto …

Today we drove to Bühlertal. A tour of @Ömchen & Öpchen 🍀 was planned.
Today things didn't go quite as planned. After the Herthahütte to the Kohlbergwiesen, we weren't paying attention for a moment and went about 1 km in the wrong direction, which we had to retrace our steps. After the Kohlbergwiesen, it got a bit boring; the path …
