Romantic valleys, dark forests, sun-drenched plateaus and flower-strewn meadows lend the Black Forest hiking and holiday region a very special charm. West-, Mittel- and Ostweg, which lead over 200 km from the goldsmith town Pforzheim to Basel, Waldshut or Schaffhausen, are a beautiful example. The east-west connections such as the Kandelhöhenweg or the Schluchtensteig are also popular. Wine lovers set off on the Ortenau wine trail.
