3 Valleys Tour to the Devil's Mill: Hiking Happiness in the Northern Black Forest
A whole day dedicated to nature, movement, and regional discovery awaits participants on the challenging 3 Valleys Tour to the Devil's Mill. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the guided hike will start at 7:20 AM in the hall of Karlsruhe Central Station and will take public transport to the Northern Black Forest.
Three Valleys, Varied Landscapes, and a Distinctive Summit
The route begins in Bad Wildbad and runs through the Rennbach Valley, Eyach Valley, and Dürreychtal. It then leads up to the Devil's Mill, a striking destination in the northern Black Forest, before the hike ends in Loffenau. Forest paths, quiet sections of the valley, and ascending passages make this tour an intense exploratory experience for experienced hikers.
Challenging Day Hike with a Sporty Profile
Over approximately 20 kilometers, the group will cover about 780 meters of elevation gain and 850 meters of descent. The pure hiking time is around seven hours. The sporty trail profile requires endurance, sure-footedness, and good fitness. In return, the landscape rewards with the authentic atmosphere of the Northern Black Forest, diverse forest formations, and impressive impressions along the historical cultural landscape.
Traveling Sustainably by Public Transport
For the outbound and return journey, a D-Ticket or a RegioX-Ticket in the BW tariff is required. The Black Forest Association Karlsruhe has relied on traveling by public transport for day hikes for many years. This connects the city tour into nature with athletic activity and a sustainable travel approach for a conscious nature experience.
