Lotharpfad adventure trail

A new forest emerges

In 1999, hurricane "Lothar" ploughed a deep swathe through the forest on the peaks of the northern Black Forest. On the Lothar Trail, you can experience how nature develops after a storm without human intervention and the power with which new forest is created. Many insects and fungi found new habitats in the dead wood, young trees grow wildly upwards.

The adventure trail leads over footbridges, ladders and stairs. A viewing platform offers distant views over the ridges of the northern Black Forest and into the valley. National park rangers regularly offer guided tours of this trail. More information can be found on the Black Forest National Park website.
