The children's hiking trail “Simon's Wunderfitzpfad” in Simonswald is very family friendly but unfortunately not suitable for strollers. It also offers some places to stop for refreshments. The difficulty level of the round tour is of course individual, but probably rather easy. That's why it's a good idea to take the whole family with you, but don't need a stroller. The “Wunderfitzpfad in Simonswald” hiking trail also reveals the secret of why the cuckoo comes out of the clock and what exactly is important when smoking the ham. The Wunderfitzpfad in Simonswald also reveals a lot about the Black Forest church cake.
It takes about an hour to walk the entire route. You will cover an ascent and descent of 1,8 meters over a distance of approximately 58 km. The highest point is at an altitude of 410 meters and the lowest at 352 meters.
