A gentle hike from north to south through the Black Forest, from Pforzheim (DE) to Basel (CH) on the Westweg. 300 km of ups and downs and vistas to France in the west and the Swiss Alps to the south. The tallest peak of the Black Forest, the Feldberg (1493m/4898ft), is charming hiking territory, and labels the mountain range as the highest amongst its kind.
Shaped by a rift called the “Oberrheinische Tiefebene” (Upper Rhine Plain) the Black Forest and the Westweg respectively have a lot to offer, culturally, geographically and ecologically. For me it was nice weather and easy hiking, meaning a grand old time.
