This panoramic trail is also beautiful to walk in summer.
Author's recommendation
We recommend to bring a sledge for every toboggan fan.
Directions
You start the tour at the Haus des Gastes in Saig and follow Titiseestraße uphill towards the sports field and Saiger Höhe. Alternatively, you have the option of turning right into Hochfirstweg and taking a detour to the Hochfirstturm. There are several ways to ‘climb’ the Hochfirst. We recommend the route via Turmweg. You have to past the Luchsenfelsen rock. Once you reach the Hochfirstturm, you will have a fantastic view over the Black Forest (the tower is currently closed due to structural problems). The path up to an altitude of over 1200 metres is cleared in winter. Back to the actual route. As soon as you reach the Titiseestraße/Saiger Höhe crossroads, turn left onto the ‘Saiger Höhe’ path. Right at the crossroads, you will discover the Saig - Titisee toboggan run, where fast-paced tobogganing fun is guaranteed. But please be aware that, you also have to run up the 1.2 km toboggan run again. Follow the ‘Saiger Höhe’ trail to the real Saiger Höhe at an altitude of 1055 metres. This is the highest point of the hike (apart from the Hochfirst). The tour then descends slightly through the snow-covered forest to the Rotkreuz hiking car park. Alternatively, you could have started the tour here. From here, you walk comfortably on an almost flat, sunny little road via "Schlauch" to "Hof".From Hof, the hiking trail leads you directly to the centre of Saig. Here, as well as in the Saiger Höhe area, there are numerous places to stop for refreshments.
