Schonach nature adventure trail

You start your tour at Ginsterstraße. Here you will find puzzle booklets with tasks for the individual stations in a box at the start.

From there, Hansi Holzknecht will accompany you on the circular route and will always point you in the right direction. As you walk up through the forest, you will pass various tree species and reach the barefoot path. Here you can take off your shoes and socks and feel the different surfaces.

The path continues over hill and dale to the auditory tubes and the humming stone. At the top of the Holzeck, turn left and learn about giant trees and their history. Walking down into the valley, you will pass vantage points where you can see a typical piece of the Black Forest: Farms, meadows, pastures and forest.

A little further along the path, past the upturned roots of a tree, you come to the Tierweitsprung. Right here, after the jumping pit, the stalking trail begins, where you are guaranteed to spot local forest dwellers.

Back at the starting point, you can enter the solution in your puzzle booklet and take it to the tourist information office in Schönwald or to the Moosi stationery store. There you will then be awarded a certificate as a junior forester!

Good footwear, clothing suitable for the weather, drinks and possibly a small backpack are recommended for all tours. The route is not suitable for baby carriages.

Please pay attention to the signs on the hiking trail and the recommended walking direction. You can find more precise and detailed information about the signs and the hiking guidance system on our homepage: The Hiking ABC (hochschwarzwald.de)

In emergencies, please call 112.
