Stage description

A stage that offers great views when the weather is nice.

From Mummelsee, the trail initially runs close to the road toward Seibelseckle. It then climbs slightly through beautiful mountain forest to the Darmstädter Hütte. From there, it continues above Wilden See, around the Seekopf, to the winter sports resort of Ruhestein. There, cross a parking lot and follow less clearly marked trails up to the upper end of the ski jump, and from there, cross the large parking lot to the Schwarzwald-Hochstraße. Cross this road, and the trail now follows footpaths on a gentle ascent to the Schliffkopf. From there, continue south across pastures to a viewpoint and then soon along forest trails slightly below the ridge. The ridge area is a wildlife sanctuary and may not be entered. The route then continues across a plateau with meadows and through a wooded area with old ski jumps to the Hotel Zuflucht. From there, the path leads first along a paved road, then along forest and woodland trails that grow increasingly narrow to the Alexanderschanze.

There are good bus connections along the elevated highway, allowing for a variety of route options.
