Join us in exploring the northern Black Forest on a ~12 km hike on April 26th! We will start in Friedrichstal, a village just north of Freudenstadt, and ascend westward into the black forest in one of the valleys (see map). Sights in the forest include a small lake (Sankenbachsee) and a waterfall (pictured). From the lake, we will follow the Sankenbach stream downhill again and arrive in Baiersbronn.
All nature lovers and friendly hikers welcome. 😊🥾🌳👋
🎒 What to bring: weather-appropriate clothing and forest-appropriate shoes; water and snacks; musical instruments
