You rush through the air with a breathtaking speed. The forest shrinks beneath you, your heart jumps. The trees look like stars from above, the air stream takes daily routine away and a big portion of adrenalin is rushing through your veins. This is how we would describe a ride with the Hirschgrund Ziplines. Ok, admittedly, this is not the whole truth – in reality, ziplining feels a whole lot better. It is a little bit like an action movie in which you have the star role.

40km hiking trail round Baden-Baden
Reviewed By flutterby_dee
We did this hike in October, and with the leaves starting to turn the forest was stunningly beautiful. We were prepared for rainy weather, given the time of year (not ideal - we were planning around a work conference so not much flexibility with dates), but were very lucky and had spectacular weather! As well as forest, the hike takes you through villages, farmyards, orchards and fields, all while the birds are chirping and you may hear the chime of churchbells in the distance. The hike itself involves some ascending, but is not at all difficult, with the track easy to walk on. Our only difficulty was that the signs did not match the map we had for part of stage 1, and in fact the signage seemed to indicate we should walk through the Neues schloss, which was closed - we followed the map from there and did not have any troubles; I would therefore suggest that a map is a necessity, and perhaps stopping at the tourist office beforehand so your map is up-to-date would be a worthwhile use of time. We did stages 1-3 on day 1, overnighting in Geroldsau, and completed stages 4-5 on day 2, walking to and from Bernharduskirche from the centre of Baden Baden at either end of the hike, but you can do as many stages as you like, starting at any point, as there is bus transport to all stages.

Fun road to drive with a length of 65 kilometer. Can't miss it because the signs are very clear. We drove from Baden-Baden to Freudenstadt but of course you can also drive it the other way around. Be aware there a lot of motorbikes on the road and sometimes trail hogs. There are several sightseeing spots, landmarks, lakes or waterfalls to stop or make a walk. Best stop points are the geroldsau waterfalls and the Mummelsee. We also tried to reach the Bühlerhöhe castle but couldn't find it. The road is perfectly maintained.
