This hike takes place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, deep into a landscape where Freiburg's Black Forest side reveals its full character. From cultural landscape to the primeval forest of tomorrow: This tour tells the story of a valley that uniquely combines history, forest ecology, and discovery experience.
On the way in Zweribachtal: Where natural history becomes visible
Behind the plateau of St. Peter, steep slopes, cliffs, and quiet forest passages open up. In today's protected forest area, traces of the hard life of the mountain farmers can be traced as well as the natural development of a protected forest space. The tour demonstrates how a former cultural landscape gradually transforms into a vibrant forest of the future.
Difficult hike with impressive perspectives
