Baiersbronn T1 Stöckerkopf Tour - Shortcut 2 Höllkopf

From the starting point at the chairlift parking lot in Baiersbronn, you initially climb the narrow road up the Sankenbach valley to warm up. At the game enclosure, turn left and tackle the first longer climb. The reward is a great view of the center of Baiersbronn.

A natural path descent with an extremely steep section follows down towards Friedrichstal. Cheerfully, the route continues halfway along the hillside to Michaelis Church. Then you have to overcome some altitude gain again, first on an untrafficked road, then on a gravel path and finally on natural paths up to Gruberkopf. There is no view here; the reward comes in the form of tricky trails on the Baiersbronn bikers' cross-country track. This ends again at the Sankenbach game enclosure, and the route continues gently uphill to the natural highlight of the tour, the Sankenbachsee.

The small detour down to the lakeshore should definitely not be missed. Another highly recommended detour on foot leads about 200 m to the Sankenbach Waterfall. Up the Heinzelberg, you climb to about 860 m. At the Kienberghütte, a scenic break on the HimmelSLiege (sky lounger) is worthwhile before starting the descent on the right.

A wide path takes bikers with great views downhill all the way to the Höllkopfhütte. An initially very steep and then flowy trail leads down to the Höll and then continues on a trail towards the barefoot path on the wooden path. A short trail leads us down to Bergergrund. Via a meadow path, the Stutzweg, you return with wonderful views to Baiersbronn, where a well-deserved refreshment awaits.

There is another shortcut option.
