Cross-country ski trail "Jostalspur"

The Jostal trail starts north of the Helios Klinik Neustadt. First you have to overcome an ascent, then the trail leads gently uphill for quite a way up the beautiful Jostal valley. It is possible to join the trail at the turn-off to Schildwende, where there are plenty of parking facilities.

After approx. 4-5 km, the challenging part of the Jostal trail begins, which now climbs steadily up the mountain at a good gradient. The Waldau circular trail and then the Langendordnach trail can be used for an extensive loop. Refreshments are available along the trail in Jostal, on the B500 and also in Waldau and Langenordnach.

DSV premium trails:

Together with the municipalities, the cross-country skiing clubs and the Southern Black Forest Nature Park, the Safety in Skiing Foundation (SIS) and the DSV Environmental Advisory Board have been working in recent years to develop the quality of the cross-country ski trail centres in the Southern Black Forest. 1,200 km of cross-country ski trails have been certified as DSV nordic active centres according to international criteria, signposted using a standardised system, equipped with information boards and local trail flyers and made accessible to internet users in a comprehensive form via the DSV trail portal (www.loipenportal.de). In addition, a cross-country trail map has been developed that shows all certified cross-country trail centres in a unique overview and quality and contains specific suggestions and tips for cross-country skiers in the southern Black Forest.
