Flößerpfad Kinzigtal

Signage:

The signage of the Flößerpfad is integrated into the signage of the Schwarzwaldverein. That means at junction points of hiking trails you will find route signposts of the Flößerpfad under the destination signposts of the Schwarzwaldverein. In between, simply follow the corresponding diamond-shaped signage of the Schwarzwaldverein.

Route course:

The Flößerpfad Kinzigtal starts at the Lossburg outdoor pool. Additionally, the route from Lossburg train station to the outdoor pool is also signposted. From Lossburg, it first goes downhill through the forest on attractive, mostly gravel paths directly along the Kinzig to Ehlenbogen. There the valley opens up and from here, the Flößerpfad mostly runs on paved paths. Although the path follows the Kinzig downstream, there are still some elevation meters to overcome. The path leads through an attractive open landscape with individual farms. The monastery town Alpirsbach, the end of the first section, invites you to linger. From here, the second section first goes flat through the suburbs of Alpirsbach. At the former Baden-Württemberg border, there is an ascent to overcome; this is followed by a descent back to the river and onward to the Hängender Stein, a natural monument. Schenkenzell is now not far away, and from a distance you have a wonderful view of the idyllic Black Forest town. Over former timber floating weirs you reach the Schenkenzell train station. From here, it goes up to the worthwhile ruins of Schenkenburg and further to Schiltach, where numerous guesthouses await the hiker. The recreational area "Vor Kuhbach" and the Flößerwiese also invite you to rest. The Flößermuseum Schüttesäge in Schiltach is definitely worth seeing. The route continues varied to Wolfach, sometimes on paved, sometimes on unpaved paths, sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill. The hiker is repeatedly surprised with rewarding views into the beautiful Kinzig valley. From Halbmeil, the first suburb of Wolfach, the Flößerpfad is finally barrier-free developed. On wide asphalt paths, it mostly goes flat to Wolfach, the destination of the Flößerpfad. The Flößermuseum here is also definitely worth seeing, as well as the Flößerpark with an originally reconstructed Wiedenofen and rest and relaxation opportunities directly at the confluence of the Wolf and Kinzig.

Coming from the A5, take the "Offenburg" exit, follow the B33 in the direction of "Villingen-Schwenningen" to Hausach, and from here the B294 towards "Freudenstadt." The Flößerpfad runs parallel to the B294, so you reach all five Flößerpfad communities directly - starting with Wolfach.

Coming from the A81 towards Stuttgart, take the "Horb" exit and follow the B28a towards Freudenstadt. Shortly before Freudenstadt, turn onto the B294 towards "Freiburg." The next town is Lossburg, and all other Flößerpfad communities follow along the B294.

Coming from the A81 towards Singen, take the "Rottweil" exit and follow the B462 towards Schramberg and then on to Schiltach. Shortly before Schiltach, turn right for Lossburg, Schenkenzell, and Schiltach town center and follow the signs. To get to Wolfach, drive straight through the tunnel.

All places along the Flößerpfad are connected to the Ortenau railway between Offenburg and Freudenstadt. Current timetables can be found at www.bahn.de.
