Description

The Geißenpfad trail takes you from the Mösle parking lot in Menzenschwand Hinterdorf past some impressive old Black Forest farms. Breathtaking views and fantastic perspectives open up over the surrounding valleys, heights and the village. The tinkling of goat bells accompany you on your way and sometimes you find yourself standing just a few meters away from a small herd. In addition to the goats, you may also come across their wild relatives, the chamois.

Directions

At the beginning, the trail leads you from the Mösle parking lot in Hinterdorf past some impressive old Black Forest farms. You hike halfway up the valley to various meadows, such as the "Schwarzberg", where you turn left. Pass the "Brändler" and "Im Geschweih" fields and turn left downhill. At the crossroads, keep right on the gravel path and take a break at Flößer's Rast to enjoy the view. Following the path, you cross a wooden footbridge over the Menzenschwander Alb with wonderful views of the Klusenbach valley. Pass an old charcoal burner's place on your way down the valley. The rest area invites you to marvel at the Menzenschwander waterfalls. Here you also have the opportunity to stop off at the Café & Berg-Beizle "Wasserfall". Then follow the asphalt path uphill for a short distance to the overview board. From there, follow the Menzo trail via the Weidberg and Kohlbrunnen to a particularly beautiful alder grove and the two radon and fluorite springs. Cross the Krunkelbach bridge to reach the Brandweg, cross it and follow the path above the Lesestein wall across the Krunkelbach pastures in an easterly direction. After about 500 m, leave the Weid-Berg and follow the tarred path (Brandweg) to Sägehüttle. From there, head north via Ellerwegle to the starting point, the Mösle parking lot. From here you have another beautiful view of the Schwarzenberg.
