They haven’t resettled here yet, but if you would like to get to know these fleet-footed, feline predators a little better, you can follow their tracks on the Lynx Trail (Luchspfad). The tour begins in the lynx hut with a wealth of information including hearing the wildcat’s call – perfect for putting you in the mood for the four-and-a-half-kilometre hike. Passing by numerous interactive stations, you will be walking through woodland in which the lynx would feel at home. Children can experience how lynx prowl, pounce, peer and hear. A rest area surrounded by tall beech trees is located at the halfway point.

In 1999, Storm Lothar felled the majority of the 150-year-old trees on the slopes of the Plättig. Here you can observe how a forest has since then been left to develop by itself with new life sprouting everywhere. The trail takes you over thick tree trunks and sometimes even under them. The best place to take a break is the eagle’s eyrie (Adlerhorst). Safe and secure in the wooden nest, you can rest and experience the world from a height of seven metres. It is just one of the many adventures on this trail which is particularly suited to families with children of a slightly older age.

It is the second highest peak in the national park‘s north zone and has always been a popular place for excursions. Up until the start of the 20th Century it was used for cattle grazing. Large areas of forest were also cleared by Storm Lothar in 1999. Heathland and areas strewn with deadwood have thus been formed here known in Black Forest dialect as ‚grinden‘. On clear days, far-reaching views over a sea of trees and with luck to the distant Vosges can be enjoyed from the observation tower.
