Hiking: Black Forest - Lake Constance

From Titisee to Radolfzell

From the start, this diversified hike has many characteristic highlights to offer. For example Titisee, one of the largest mid-mountain lakes in Germany, or the high ridge or the Wutachschlucht, which is traversed in its whole length.

The long-distance hike “Querweg” gives you a stunning view of a beautiful landscape with romantic valleys and ethnic forests. Finally, you hike past small villages to Singen over the volcanic cones of Hegau Mountains. Arrived in Radolfzell, you can relax at the idyllic Lake Constance and look back on the last days of hiking.

Sehr gut bis ausgezeichnet
Insgesamt sehr gute Organisation. Die ersten zwei Tage waren besonders schön (Wutachschlucht) aber auch die Wälder insgesamt. Das Kartenmaterial und der Streckenbescrhieb sind ausgezeichnet. Die App GUIBO ist extrem einfach zu benutzen und sehr hilfreich, auch wenn das hinterlegte Kartenmaterial von Deutschland, verglichen mit den Karten von Toposuisse, doch sehr bescheiden ist in Sachen Genauigkeit und Details. Aber auch da kann man sich daran gewöhnen. Der Empfang, der Service, die Qualität und die Bedienung waren in allen Hotels sehr gut bis ausgezeichnet.
