About us
We are going to organise hikes mostly but also want to do climbing/ bouldering as well as water sports events. Focus regions are Black Forest, Palatinate Forest and Kraichgau. We might do occasional trips to other places such als Alsace (France), too.
If you have ideas or suggestions please let us know. We are also open to new event organisers. It doesn't take that much to organise hikes, so don't hesitate if you are considering it.

Murg valley hike: Forbach to Bermersbach (8 km, 260 hm)
Karlsruhe Hbf, Bahnhofplatz 1a, 76137, Karlsruhe, DEThis is a somewhat historic hike. We're going to a village near Forbach that seems to have an active heritage society, offering these attractions:
- a rebuilt water mill (see photo) and
- a small museum which covers village life from a hundred years ago.
We might also get to see some deer.This is a relatively easy to medium hike. Distance is 6.7 km but we are probably going to do two short detours, bringing the total closer to 8 km.
I estimate we will be back in Karlsruhe before 6pm.Getting there:
- From Karlsruhe Hbf: take S8, departing 11:11 from Bahnhofsvorplatz (in front of the station building).
- (You can also get on this train in a few other stops, such as Tullastraße and Marktplatz.)
- We arrive in Forbach at 12:16 and start hiking from there.
- Coming by car? Join as at Forbach Bahnhof.
What to bring:
- water and snacks
- weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes - There might be a bit of rain.
