Oberzarten cross-country skiing trail
Hard
Idyllic tour along the Zartenbach stream to the farm Mathislehof and back. A short detour to the Mathisleweiher pond, which is about halfway along the route, is worthwhile.
Waxed skis, poles at the ready - the cross-country fun can begin in the Black Forest highlands.
Directions
The Oberzarten cross-country ski trail is a challenging trail that starts behind the Kurhaus and follows the Zartenbach trail for a while. Cross the road at the ice pond and bear right past the idyllic Mathislehof farm. Cross the road again and continue steadily uphill. When you reach the top, you will pass through a beautiful section of forest, where you will also descend once. The route continues with another short climb and at the top you can enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. From now on the trail goes downhill. Be careful, you will have to cross three roads. After the last road crossing you will pass the Mathislehof again. Then there is a rather challenging descent with a bend.

DSV Premium Trails: Together with the communities, the cross-country skiing clubs and the Southern Black Forest Nature Park, the DSV Safety in Skiing Foundation (SIS) and the DSV Environmental Advisory Board have worked in recent years to improve the quality of the cross-country skiing trails in the Southern Black Forest. 1,200 km of trails have been certified as DSV nordic active centers according to international criteria, signposted with a uniform system, equipped with information boards and local trail flyers, and made comprehensively accessible to Internet users via the DSV trail portal (www.loipenportal.de). In addition, a cross-country trail map was developed, which shows all certified cross-country trail centers in a unique overview and quality and contains specific suggestions and tips for cross-country skiers in the southern Black Forest.
