Wegbeschreibung
You start your hike at the "Haus des Gastes" in St. Blasien. From here, you pass the gate to the town center and cross the bridge. Then keep right along the river Alb and turn left into Friedrichstraße. Follow the road uphill until you reach the entrance to the Windberg gorge. It goes uphill, always alongside the mountain stream, which is in great form here. It splashes and gushes, smaller and larger waterfalls create a wildly romantic scenery for the narrow and stony path uphill. Be careful, it can be slippery! As an alternative to the ascent through the gorge, you can also take the tarred path on the left up towards Felseneck with a baby carriage or wheelchair. Both paths join up again later.
If you climb out of the gorge at the top, it becomes easier. At the junction, turn right and after 50 meters immediately left again on the hut path and continue uphill at a leisurely pace. The path is wide and not steep, and the view of the wide valley of the Windberg stream opens up again and again. The "Windberghof", a farm building, soon comes into view on the other side of the valley. There are also a few benches along the way where you can rest comfortably.
The Windbergpfad makes a loop around the mats and then leads back downhill towards the Windberghof. At the fork in the path on the way, take the lower path on the left. Turn left again at the "Windberghof" signpost. You will soon be standing above the farm with its beautiful chapel.
As you continue downhill, you may be barked at by the guard dogs that roam the pasture here together with the farm's goats. Appropriate signs explain how you should behave as a hiker. There is also a fence between the herd, dogs and the path to ensure that you don't get too close.
You will now reach the Windberg bridge again, where you will soon return to the town through the Windberg gorge or on the wide path around the outside.
