The Todtnauer Hinterwald run is the longest run in the Black Forest with a length of 9300 m and a difference in altitude of 736 m.
The starting point for the Hinterwald downhill run to Todtnau is Grafenmatt-Höchst (1346m). The best way to get there is via the modern Rothaus cable car from Fahl. There is also a bus stop right next to the cable car station, so you can take public transport back after your run.
The descent is not an official piste, is not always rolled and is therefore not specially secured. You use it at your own risk.
After starting at Grafenmatt-Höchst, the route passes the Herzogenhorn performance center and turns right at Glockenführe towards Todtnau.
If the conditions allow it, it is advisable to squat at full throttle from here. At the Röslehütte it is a little uphill and the skis brakes automatically.
After the short sliding passage, you slide to the Bernauer Kreuz. In summer, the Bernauer Kreuz is the turning point for a number of hiking trails with a refuge and barbecue area.
At the shelter, turn right towards Todtnau. A rapid descent follows to the Mollenbachhütte. On the subsequent gliding section, it becomes clear who has applied the right wax. Those who made the wrong choice may have to push their skis for a bit. Once the flat section is behind you, it's full speed ahead to Todtnau. Upon arrival in Todtnau, there is a bus stop at the Poche or at the Gasthaus Feldberg.
Since 2005, the Todtnau Hinterwald Inferno has been taking place on this descent if the snow conditions allow. The race is run by the Todtnau Ski Club, the oldest ski club in Germany, and is one of the longest downhill races in Germany.
