Beschreibung
This circular tour runs mainly on wide forest and tarmac paths, but offers all kinds of natural highlights along the way with the four well-known Black Forest lakes of Schluchsee, Windgfällweiher, Feldsee and Titisee.
The Black Forest gateau at G'scheiten Beck, the Brägele at Raimartihof am Feldsee or the homemade cheese from Wälder GbR at Mathislehof in Hinterzarten add a few culinary highlights typical of the region to the tour.
Autorentipp
Between the drinks station at the Häuslebauernhof farm and the Mathislehof farm in Hinterzarten, it's worth taking a detour to the Mathisleweiher pond. Then the four lakes become five! However, the Mathisleweiher can only be accessed on foot.
Wegbeschreibung
The tour starts at the train station in Schluchsee and crosses under the main road via a subway, then keep left towards the town centre. Head out of town, cross the road towards Fischbach and keep parallel to the main road for the next few kilometres until you reach the district of Schluchsee-Aha. Leave this on the left too, follow the ‘upper Bildsteinweg’ for around 800 metres, turn left and continue towards Windgfällweiher. When you reach the second lake, cross the Raitenbucher Straße and take the ‘Lochertweg’ to Feldberg-Falkau. Continue towards Hinterfalkau, then turn left onto Schuppenhörnlestraße and then left again towards Bärental. Pass the Lidl supermarket, the Cafe Schwarzwaldmaidle and the Hotel Adler and leave the road at the 180 degree bend straight ahead onto Feldseeweg. From then on, stay on this path until you reach the Kunzenmoos car park and continue along the Raimartihofweg to Feldsee / Raimartihof.
Continue uphill along the forest path behind the Raimartihof and turn right onto the summit trail at the top. This is followed by a short trail section of approx. 400 metres. As soon as you are back on the forest path, turn left to the Rufenholzplatz. You pass the Rufenholzplatz, ride straight ahead along the Rufenhofweg until you turn sharp right to the Häuslebauernhof after approx. one kilometre. Follow the yellow signs for the summit trail, first past the Häuslebauernhof farm with drinks station and then past the Mathislehof and Altenvogtshof farms until you turn right at the next junction towards Erlenbruck / Bruderhalde. Once on the country road, keep left, pass the Heizmannshof and Bankenhof farms and then turn right to the Bankenhof campsite before turning left onto the Seerundweg trail along Lake Titisee.
After the lakeside path turns slightly to the left towards Seestraße, turn right to get under the railway tracks and main road on the ascent towards Saig. At first, continue along the forest track of the toboggan run, go straight ahead at the first junction and follow the path until you reach the Saiger Höhe. Ride downhill towards the centre of Saig, but after 200 metres turn left and then right again to take the path towards Balzenhof. After the Balzenhof, keep right at the next three junctions and then turn left at the fourth junction towards Hürenhof. Now follow the path to Lenzkirch and you are back on the summit trail, so you can easily orientate yourself using the yellow signs with the blue arrows. You leave Lenzkirch behind you and pass the sports field at the end of the village before heading back into the forest.
You cross the district road to Dresselbach, but then turn right at the next junction, leave the summit trail again and cycle back to Schluchsee to your starting point at the railway station.
