WandernHiking in thein der BrandenkopfFerienregion BrandenkopfHoliday Region Our well-signposted network of trails offers excellent options for extended hikes as well as short strolls through the Black Forest Nature Park Central/North landscape. Most routes pass by local hostelries providing a chance to relax and enjoy some local specialities. Each of the four places in the holiday region - Biberach, Nordrach, Oberhar- mersbach and Zell am Harmersbach - offer highlights for young explorers, food lovers and also, of course, adventurers who are looking for challenging physical activity. The Tourist Information centres can advise on selecting an appropriate tour. Hiking poles are available to hire in Oberharmersbach and Zell am Harmersbach. At almost 1,000m above sea level, Brandenkopf is the highest peak in the central Black Forest as well as name of the region as a whole, and it certainly represents a challenge. A visit to the summit offers a viewing tower with panoramic views across to the Alps (on clear days), a hostel with a rustic mountain restaurant and a playground with a rope pulley. It is well worth the climb for active holiday- makers, families with children and bon vivants alike. Getting together: Hikers often meet up to enjoy group walks Guided hiking tours in Biberach: August and September / on request Nordrach: March - October (Mon-Sat) and November - February (x3 per week) / no booking necessary Zell am Harmersbach: From May (every 2nd Tuesday of the month) / bookings must be made at least one day before the hike Oberharmersbach: January - December (every Wednesday) / bookings must be made at least one day before the hike Wegenetz,Network Ausschilderung of trails - signpostsund Wanderkarte and maps Throughout the Black Forest there is a standardised hiking trail signposting system. At every intersection of marked hiking trails, there is a signpost. For each direction hikers find at least one sign with destination and distance information. Between two signpost locations, hikers are generally guided using just one symbol - that is the symbol shown on the signpost for that particular direction. In many cases this is the yellow diamond-shaped symbol for local hiking trails. If the walk you are following is also part of a long-distance trail, only the symbol of the long-distance trail will feature on the section of the trail which you are following. Destination section Shows the name of the next destination as well as the distance. With pictograms for additional information. Location section Includes the name of the location, heights and trail markers. Source: Schwarzwaldverein e.V. The locations of the signposts are marked with yellow flags on the hiking map of the Brandenkopf holiday region. The names of the locations also feature. This hiking map is therefore extremely useful for determining your current location as well as how you would like to continue. The „Brandenkopf – Gengenbach Holiday Region“ hiking map (scale 1:25,000) with a corresponding hiking guide which includes 41 hiking tour routes, is available for € 6.90 from any of the four local Tourist Information centres and in all book stores (ISBN-No. 978 939657 44 6).
