Unfortunately the Schneider Hof was closed, so there was no snack 😢

How should it be otherwise ... the new year starts like the old one left off ... with a hike 🥾

This time I did a little lap near Elzach: on the bread path around Elzach-Yach. This path is a mixture of up and down, through the forest and over meadows with beautiful views of the green valleys 👍🏻

There were three of us, two adults and a 10-year-old child. The tour was very easy to walk and it was very well signposted. The snack bar is advertised everywhere, but is only open at weekends.

February 19, 2022,Yacher Brotweg mit Tee 🤣

Yacher Brotweg without having met a soul. Weather held, knees too, wind humane, paths: everything included. And if you go on Saturdays, you can still buy 🥖 at some farms 👍🏽

If cows are grazing along the path, they should walk slowly and calmly by, please always keep dogs on a leash. Cows are normally peaceful, but …

The bread path in the yach is simply wonderful. The path leads through various farms where you can find small information boards in various places. They inform about the history of the farmers in the yach, how they lived and how hard and hard life was in the past. I love this area and can only recommend the Brotweg to …

February 19, 2022,Brotweg Tour bei Yach im Elzach (5411 - Tour 3)

The tour I took was also known as the "Elzacher Höfetour" (Kompass, Schwarzwaldsüd 5411).

The whole route is well signposted on site, but there are always passages on private roads/property where it is not so easy to recognize the right way. Unfortunately, I had to jump over the wire end fence twice.
