Karl Morgenstern - Trekking the Westweg - Black Forest

A guidebook to walking the Westweg (Westway) between Pfozheim in Germany to Basel in Switzerland. Covering 285km (177 miles), this long-distance trek through the Black Forest takes around 2 weeks and is suitable for any reasonably fit walker.

The route is described north to south in 13 stages, each between 15 and 28km (9–17 miles) in length. Two variants between Titisee and Basel are described, the western route takes in Feldberg, the Black Forest’s highest peak, whilst the quieter eastern route summits the Herzogenhorn peak.
