    This bwegt hiking trail connects Altensteig and Nagold Both towns are idyllic spots in the Black Forest that will delight both nature lovers and culture enthusiasts. Even from the start at the bus stop in the beautifully designed market square in Altensteig One can enjoy the view of the historic silhouette of the old town. From the town, the path leads directly into the deep forest, where the babbling brook is hidden. Hirschgraben and Bömbach are located.

    A natural highlight is the Egenhäuser Kapf with its landscape rich in hedges and shrubs. From the nature park viewpoint, there is an impressive panoramic view of the Black Forest and the Heckengäu region, as well as towards the Swabian Alb – the Black Forest reveals its diverse side.

    The path continues into Wald ValleyAnd between the trees stretch landscapes rich in meadows. Soon you reach one of the seven mountains around Nagold, and via the Killberg you reach the urban town directly at the bus stop.

    Author's tip

    The route leads through the unique nature reserve Egenhäuser Kapf with Bömbachtal.

    This is all the more important: stay on the marked trails!
