Hiking in the Black Forest

Dense forest and wide panoramic paths begin right outside the door. The Baiersbronner Wanderhimmel, Baiersbronn's hiking network, covers around 550 kilometres of trails through the northern Black Forest. On guided tours, hiking guide Willi Seid shows you his favourite spots. If you prefer to set off on your own, we have suggested routes of every length.

Quiet paths through the fir forest

The paths around the hotel follow the Rotmurg, cross the Peterles Buckel and climb to the Köpfleshütte. For a longer walk, continue to the Genussplatz at the Walterhütte, with its view across the Murg valley. Our activity programme brings new tours every week, some a short circuit, others a full day out.
