Hiking
Westweg-Etappe 02: Dobel – Forbach
- 26.5 km
- 07:30 h
- 511 m
- 907 m
The second stage shows the typical landscape of the northern Black Forest all in one day: rustling coniferous forests, majestic views, marshy hill tops, and deep river valleys. The slow rise from Dobel to Kaltenbronn is graced with numerous views, largely due to the impact from Hurricane Lothar (Christmas 1999). The trail rises over steep, rocky paths past the Latschigfelsen cliffs down into the Murgtal valley and on toward Forbach.
On the edge of town in Dobel, the Westweg dives back into deep coniferous forests. It gently rises over the ridge between Alb and Eyach toward Kaltenbronn. The Westweg remains under the crestline, first passing by the clearing Weithäuslesplatz and then offering up views passing under Schweizerkopf all the way to Hahnenfalzhütte cabin.
