    <description>
        &lt;p&gt;Next week, from 26 November, the first Christmas Markets in the Black Forest will open. Traditional christmas markets take place in many places in the Black Forest every year. The flavour of mulled wine, waffles and fir needles, candlelights and the cosy atmosphere attract the guests every year anew. Besides eating and drinking of course you can find lots of local products for your own or for your christmas gifts.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;uploads/hiking.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;View on Ibach in the Southern Black Forest&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; vspace=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;On www.black-forest-travel.com, in the section &amp;quot;&lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/leisure/hiking.html&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/leisure/hiking.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hiking in th Black Forest&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; you can find plenty of information about the long-distance hiking trails in the Black Forest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most famous hiking trail in the Black Forest ist the West Trail (Westweg). The Westweg leads on 285 km from Pforzheim to Basel.&amp;#160;The Westweg can be completed in 12-13 days in sections of 15-25 km. Certainly it can be joined and left anywhere on the route.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Middle Route (Mittelweg) and the East trail (Ostweg) also lead from north to south through the Black Forest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Gorge Trail leads through the most beautiful valleys and gorges in the Southern Black Forest. The Ortenau Wine Trail and the Markgräfler Wine Trail&amp;#160;go through the vineyards on the western slopes of the Black Forest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hiking is definitely the best option, to discover and enjoy the Black Forest - and, of course, good for health and fitness!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the next few days spring-like weather is expected, inviting to a trip to the Black Forest and a short hike. So far still the deeper layers are recommended, in the higher elevations from 800-1000m it takes a little longer until spring comes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both; &quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.black-forest-blog.com/uploads/spring-2011-2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Springtime&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

    <link>http://www.black-forest-blog.com/archives/18-Kandel-Mountain-1241-m-above-sea-level.html</link>

    <description>
        &lt;p&gt;The Kandel Mountain is one of the most eye-catching mountains in the Central Black Forest. It ist located about 25km north-east of &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/freiburg/&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/freiburg/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Freiburg&lt;/a&gt; and can be reached by road from &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/waldkirch/&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/waldkirch/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Waldkirch&lt;/a&gt; or from &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/st-peter/&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/st-peter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;St. Peter&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/glottertal/&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/glottertal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Glottertal&lt;/a&gt; from the south. There is a large car park at the highest point of the road, and a 400m footpath leads to the summit from there.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The large Kandelfelsen rock just below is a popular area for climbers. The paraglider launch site is directly by the car park.&amp;#160;For winter sports enthusiasts, there are three ski lifts and pistes of various levels of difficulty, the popular boarder park and cross-country skiing courses.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Hochkopf mountain in the Black Forest</title>
    <link>http://www.black-forest-blog.com/archives/17-Hochkopf-mountain-in-the-Black-Forest.html</link>

    <description>
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.black-forest-blog.com/uploads/hochkopf-tower.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Look-out tower&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;The Hochkopf is a mountain on 1267 m above sea level, located&amp;#160;between &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/todtmoos/&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/todtmoos/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Todtmoos&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/todtnau/&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/todtnau/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Todtnau&lt;/a&gt; in the southern Black Forest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A detour to the Hochkopf with its viewing tower is well worthwhile if you are hiking around Todtmoos and Todtnau. The easiest way to reach it is from the Weißenbachsattel parking area for hikers between Todtnau-Präg, Herrenschwand and Todtmoos-Weg. From there it is 1.8 km to the summit with a height difference of just under 200 metres.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Hochkopf Tower with its distinctive form offers a magnificent view over the surrounding valleys and mountains, including the Feldberg, Herzogenhorn, Schauinsland and Belchen. In addition, a glorious Alpine panorama unfolds in fine weather.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.black-forest-blog.com/uploads/praeg.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;View on Präg near Todtnau&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Nice trail in the Black Forest</title>
    <link>http://www.black-forest-blog.com/archives/16-Nice-trail-in-the-Black-Forest.html</link>

    <description>
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;img hspace=&quot;10&quot; alt=&quot;Karlsruhe Ridge&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://www.black-forest-blog.com/uploads/karlsruhe-ridge.jpg&quot; /&gt; Waterfalls, a narrow canyon, adventurous paths, nature conservation area, a via ferrata and great views can be seen in this hike of about 4-5 hours.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hike starts in &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/ottenhoefen/&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/ottenhoefen/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ottenhöfen&lt;/a&gt; (30km south of Baden-Baden) from the parking area for hikers near the &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/landscape/edelfrauengrab-waterfalls.html&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/landscape/edelfrauengrab-waterfalls.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Edelfrauengrab Waterfalls&lt;/a&gt; (sign-posted). Form here it is only a few steps to the bottom cascade of the waterfalls, where the Edelfrauengrab is located. From there the way is climbing further up the adventurous paths and footbridges along the Gottschläg valley, a nature conservation area.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Further and further you climb up to the &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/landscape/karlsruher-grat.html&#039;);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/landscape/karlsruher-grat.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Karlsruher Grat&lt;/a&gt; at the head of the Gottschläg Valley, there you can use the via ferrata. From there the path leads back to Ottenhöfen from the Bosensteiner Eck at the top end of the via ferrata via the &#039;Brennte Schrofen&#039;, where you can enjoy a great view on the Black Forest and the Rhine valley. The overall distance is approx. 12 km, the difference in height 500m, a walking time of 4-5 hours should be allowed for.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Gottschläg Valley conservation area with the waterfalls and the Karlsruher Grat (Karlsruhe Ridge) further up is surely an outstanding scenic attraction in the Northern Black Forest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

And with the current sunny weather, an outing and a short walk are definitely worth the effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photo was taken yesterday, the 20th April 2010, near &lt;a onclick=&quot;javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/extlink/www.black-forest-travel.com/durbach/&#039;);&quot;  target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.black-forest-travel.com/durbach/&quot;&gt;Durbach&lt;/a&gt;.
