Through the Black Forest from north to south.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Westweg connects Pforzheim and Basel, traversing a landscape of forests, heathlands, and ridges offering expansive views. This guide provides a comprehensive introduction to one of the region’s classic long-distance trails. The route showcases the varied terrain of the Black Forest, from its northern forested areas to the elevations around Feldberg and the lower landscapes towards the Rhine Valley and the southern border. <\/p>\n

Thirteen stages and two route options.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The approximately 285-kilometer hike is described in daily stages, providing a natural framework for a two-week journey on foot. The guide includes two variations, allowing for personal prioritization. You may follow the entire itinerary or choose shorter sections, with the option to continue the project during a subsequent visit to the same part of Germany. <\/p>\n

Maps and practical assistance for execution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Route descriptions and maps support navigation, while planning material facilitates the assessment of stages and practical choices. The guide provides a foundation for combining daily distances and accommodations in a region with numerous natural stopping points. This book is also useful when you wish to allocate time for lakes, viewpoints, and small towns, rather than adhering to a fixed rhythm without room for other experiences along the way. <\/p>\n

An accessible long-distance hike with ascents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The route largely follows marked and established paths, but repeated ascents and many days of hiking require a reasonable level of fitness. Weather and season influence conditions at higher elevations. This guide is suitable for hikers seeking a thorough journey through the Black Forest who intend to actively use maps and descriptions, supplementing them with updated local information when determining stages and travel plans for their specific trip. <\/p>\n

A long tradition of hiking guides.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged from climbers and mountaineers who wished to share their thorough knowledge of routes \u2013 a tradition that continues to characterize the publisher’s books on hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences. <\/p>\n
