July 14, 2024,3 Burgenwanderung - Ober- und Unter Falkenstein und Hohenschramberg

Beautiful and varied day tour. From Schramberg we went through the city park to the two castles, Lower and Upper Falkenstein. We reached our intermediate destination past springs and natural beauties and along beautiful paths. After Falkenstein Castle we unfortunately got off the path and had to climb along rocks in a very adventurous way. What an adventure! Please don't …

February 4, 2025,Premiumweg Schramberger Burgenpfad – Genießerpfade im Schwarzwald

Tour suggested by Komoot. Completely new to me as a hike and impressive! Beautiful, but also quite strenuous, hike, with a not insignificant elevation. Typical Black Forest: lots of forest. Therefore more suitable for summer. If you start in Schramberg, you have to get out of the valley first.
Past the town hall and the Junghansvilla, we headed northwest out …

It's been quite a while since I last hiked this route. With fond memories of that previous walk, I set off this morning. I parked the car just outside the town in the free parking lot on Berneckstrasse, below the Falkenstein Chapel. I had planned two options for today's hike: a shorter one that would have taken me from the …

Today I was hiking on mostly narrow trails around Schramberg. I passed the castles Hohenschramberg and Falkenstein. The path also led through the rock garden, which is well worth seeing. In between, I had trumpet chanterelles to take home for dinner. 🍄🍴Overall, definitely a recommended tour. 🌳🌲👍

Today, it was the turn of the Schramberg area. From the Falkenstein and Hohenschramberg castle ruins, you have a magnificent view of the Schramberg Valley. From the Hohenschramberg castle ruins, we crossed the town, then climbed up again, before descending into the Kirnbach Valley. From there, we climbed steeply again to the Winterberg spring. From there, we descended past the …

Tour around Schramberg, visiting the Falkensteiner chapel, the Falkenstein castle ruins, the Lauterbach waterfalls and the Hohenschramberg ruins. Most of the tour went through beautiful forests with relatively pleasant temperatures. Some challenging ascents and descents have to be mastered on mostly beautiful paths, but then there are great views of Schramberg and the valleys. The tour started in the multi-storey …
