Rother Wanderführer Black Forest Fernwanderwege (3.A 2016)

Dreamy valleys with flower-filled courtyards, vast forests, lush meadows and promising heights - the Black Forest is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Germany and a real hiking paradise. Numerous long-distance hiking trails run through it, the three best-known and longest are the Westweg, the Mittelweg and the Ostweg. The trails enchant the hiker with everything that makes up the Black Forest. This walking guide from Rother will introduce you in detail.
The Westweg is the oldest and, with the greatest height differences, the most demanding of the three long-distance hiking trails. The Mittelweg is the shortest path, the Ostweg leads in relatively short day stages along the eastern edge of the Black Forest and over the southwestern foothills of the Swabian Alb. Picturesque huts and cozy snack bars serve typical Black Forest specialties along the way. Even for weekend hikers, the long-distance hiking trails are interesting, as shorter sections can easily be distinguished.
Every step in this walking guide from Rother is clear, has exact directions, a map with a route and a meaningful elevation profile. In addition, information about restaurants and accommodation as well as numerous tips about sights. GPS data is available for download for all stages.
