This circular route takes you along the dramatic rocky landscape of the Battert. The area around the Battert was designated a nature reserve back in 1981 and in 2002, parts of the state forest were also declared a protected forest. The upper circular trail offers you a magnificent panoramic view over Baden-Baden from the Ritterplatte and the rock formations, all the way to the Black Forest and far into the Rhine plain.
The hike is particularly beautiful at sunset.
Autorentipp
If you are looking for a longer tour, then combine the Battert circular trail with the Ebersteinburg circular trail. From the "Untere Batterthütte" or "Wolfsschlucht", follow the signs for the "Ebersteinburg-Rundweg".
Wegbeschreibung
The start of this hike with a gentle to moderate incline is the Old Castle hiking portal. From there, the route leads to the Ritterplatte with its magnificent views. Passing a dramatic rocky landscape, you reach the Obere Batterthütte, from where you reach the Untere Batterthütte via the Bergwachthütte. You then return to the Old Castle via the rocky path.
Ausrüstung
Please remember to wear sturdy shoes.
Sicherheitshinweise
The Battert circular trail leads through the Battert forest. This "primeval forest of tomorrow" is left to its own devices. No forestry measures are carried out. Due to the high proportion of dead trees and dead branches in the treetops, there is an increased risk of breakage even in strong winds or snow. In these weather conditions, we strongly advise against visiting the site.
