Hike along one of the three designated climate trails through Schönwald's forests and open spaces. You can let the healing and stimulating climate work its magic on you.
Author's recommendation
The cuckoo clock monument (at 4,5 km) commemorates the Schönwald clockmaker Franz Ketterer, who built the first cuckoo clock at this location around 1737.
Directions
The "Heilklimaweg" starts at the tourist information office and leads along "Franz-Schubert-Straße" to the old "Hilfshof". Immediately afterwards, the path branches off to the left and crosses the valley to the old "Escheckstraße". Turn right and follow the yellow diamond uphill to "Escheck", which is the only ascent worth mentioning.
Cross the B500 main road at "Gasthaus Kreuz". After about one kilometer of level walking on the asphalt road, turn left to "Schaiben". This path leads downhill through "Baslertal" and via "Höfle". Here you can marvel at the monument to the birthplace of the cuckoo clock. You then return to the starting point via "Moos", "Sägloch" and "Landschaftsgarten".
Follow the signs for "Heilklimaweg 3".
Equipment
Hiking boots, clothing suitable for the weather, drinks and backpack meal are recommended for all tours.
Safety information
Please pay attention to the signs on the hiking trail. You can find precise and detailed information about the signs and the hiking guidance system on our website. In emergencies, call 112.
