Description

The Säbelthoma takes you on a hike through dense forests, leads you to the mystical Mathisleweiher pond and to the most beautiful viewpoints. As a former village policeman, he is very familiar with the old stories about Hinterzarten and will be happy to tell you all about them.

Directions

At the parking lot behind the Kurhaus in Hinterzarten, you will be greeted by the Säbelthoma. Alternatively, you can start the tour at the church. The Säbelthoma, a former village policeman, has taken on the task of announcing the latest news and will tell you some of it along the way. Here you start the tour through the Kurgarten, along the Zartenbach to the playground in Wolfsgrund. Now you start the ascent to the Hotel Sonnenberg and then follow the Westweg past the Kesslerhofweiher pond. Your next intermediate destination is the Mathisleweiher pond, which is tucked away in the nature reserve. You can take a leisurely break here. Strengthened, you then follow the slightly ascending path to the Häuslebauernhof farm, where you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Feldberg massif. You can refresh yourself with a chilled drink at the nearby Milchhisli (€2 per drink). Continue through the dense fir forest to the Bisten and then to the Windeckkopf. At the mountain station of the Thoma ski lifts, you can enjoy a fantastic view, this time over Hinterzarten to the Hochfirst and the Weißtannenhöhe. You now hike across the meadow and through the dense forest to the Vicenz-Zahn rock and then descend along part of the adventure trail to the spa garden and back to the starting point at the Kurhaus.

Additional information

"Open your eyes" is the motto on the Black Forest premium hiking trails. Every trail has a stamping point in the form of a cuckoo clock. These offer the opportunity to document your hikes with stamps in your Hochschwarzwälder Wanderpass. Further information can be found on our website: hochschwarzwald.de/en

There are no public toilets along the entire hiking trail. Please use the free toilets in the Kurhaus (Mon - Sun 11 am - 6 pm).
