Bliessteig - Stage 8 (Jägersburg - Höchen)

Linger at the starting point of the route at the Jägersburg ponds and let your gaze wander through the forest.

The water-rich eighth stage, about 9 km long, first passes the Brückweiher in Jägersburg, leads along the Felsbach and the Glan to the Höcherberg (518 m), an excursion destination with an observation tower. The Höcherberghus restaurant offers a beer garden and a children's playground.

Babbling water and soothing green wherever the eye looks are symbolic for this stage. Especially the place where the Glan springs is very idyllic. Overall, this route goes uphill and some elevation meters are overcome.

All important info about equipment can be found in our packing list.

Furthermore, we point out the presence of natural forest hazards. Depending on weather conditions, some places on the path may be softened and slippery and should be approached with special caution.
