Notice
In the tour planner we inform you under the tab "Current info" about temporary route changes, closures and detours.
The "town in the forest" - here it lives up to its name, as the M1 route runs almost entirely through forest areas. A great thing in summer, as abundant greenery provides shade and invites you to pause.
But it can also be sporty, as the Schorrberg was originally a pure ski slope, and today it has a second, fast-paced life in summer - as a downhill trail, which however does not interfere with hikers.

First, the path leads through the Park of the Senses. Then it continues along Langenbacher Straße and turns left at the town exit into the Buchenhochwald forest. At the cemetery, turn left again to follow the path uphill, then right onto the forest trail. Turn left onto the road to Großseifen and follow the signs back to the town, passing the ski slope and bike park.
Especially in autumn, pay attention that fallen leaves on the ground can hide uneven spots, roots, stones, or holes on the path.
Such trail impairments should be expected on every hike.
Sturdy footwear as well as weather-appropriate, practical clothing that protects against cold and wet or heat and sun is recommended.
Also, bring enough fluids as there are no refreshment stops along the way.
In summer, on selected dates, watch the downhill riders during their fast descent.
