The western route takes us from Pforzheim to Basel. On the eastern variant described here, the trail leads over the Herzogenhorn and the Hotzenwald down to the High Rhine.
Tall mountains, deep cascading waters. Nowhere else in the German low mountain range can you climb as high as in the Black Forest. The 1493 m high mountain massif of Feldberg and Seebuck is the highest elevation of all the German low mountain ranges. The Westweg is a scenic high-altitude hike in several daily stages over this highest landmark. The route described here is the western variant, which leads over the Feldberg, the Belchen and the Blauen and finally heads for Basel. We always follow the red diamond trail markings.</p
