Schluchtensteig Etappe 4 von Schluchsee-Fischbach nach St. Blasien

Magnificent views at the Bildstein rock or near Muchenland, the leisurely paths along the shores of the Schluchsee and the small Windberg gorge are the highlights on this stage.

From the enchanting mountain village of Oberfischbach, an (almost) gorge-free stage leads to St. Blasien. From the Bildstein (1,134 m), which towers high above the fir and spruce forests and is the highest section of the Schluchtensteig trail, you can enjoy a sweeping view from the Feldberg across the deep blue Schluchsee lake to the Alps. The Schluchtensteig then plunges back into dense forests. There is a spicy scent of fresh resin and nutcrackers sit in the trees, grumbling loudly. A few ancient Black Forest farmsteads stand between Oberer and Unterer Habsberg, their roofs pulled far down. Soon a familiar sound reaches your ears. Water rushes over a rock step, fans out like a veil and makes its way down through a steep valley to St. Blasien. Shortly before the end of the stage, the Windberg waterfall is a real treat for gorge lovers. The cathedral of St. Blasius stands huge and completely oversized amidst the forests and mountains. The day's hike ends magnificently in the middle of the beautiful park between the banks of the Alb and the cathedral
