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.

Bad^3: Bad Herrenalb to Bad Wildbad via Schweizerkopfhütte&Eyach (17km, 700hm)
Karlsruhe Hbf, Bahnhofplatz 1a, 76137, Karlsruhe, DELet's do a longer hike this Sunday. We'll start near Bad Herrenalb, and climb to the viewpoint Schweizerkopfhütte.
There's a small, steep section that requires some "climbing" and sturdy shoes. (If you don't feel comfortable with this, there is also a slightly longer detour around it.)
We'll enjoy an awesome view of the Alb valley before continuing with a descent to the Eyach stream, that we'll follow for a while. We're taking another ascent to the viewpoint Wetterfahnenhütte with a view at Bad Wildbad, where we'll finish our hike with a well-deserved cake and coffee before returning to Karlsruhe via Bad Herrenalb (or Pforzheim).
