Discover Lenzkirch

Discover the gorge and moor

The Lenzkirch section of the Schluchtensteig trail leads into the Haslach Gorge and past the Rechen and Hölloch rock formations. From the Lenzkirch–Raitenbuch road, you can look out over the Ursee moor. The nature reserve may not be entered; there are no paths leading into it. The gorge route and moor view therefore offer different ways to experience nature in Lenzkirch.

The Ursee Nature Reserve in the municipality of Lenzkirch protects the Ursee, the surrounding moors and fens, as well as adjoining meadows interspersed with hedgerows. The area is a habitat for numerous threatened animal and plant species, as well as rare and endangered plant communities and ecological communities. The Ursee is a typical moor lake; its floating mats of vegetation are home to numerous moorland plants. Thus, alongside the gorge landscape, moorland and nature conservation are also part of the character of local nature experiences.

Themed trail or golf park

Kucky’s Birdlife in Lenzkirch is a 1.7-kilometre circular themed trail. Along the way, you can solve puzzles; the route also includes a bird’s nest swing and a playground. The stated length gives a clear idea of the circuit, while the activities and stops define its theme.

Another type of activity is on offer at the Hochschwarzwald Adventure Golf Park in Lenzkirch-Kappel, which has 21 themed holes. You can choose according to the kind of outing you prefer: a circular trail with puzzle activities and a playground, or a park whose concept centres on creatively themed holes.

Art and history in Lenzkirch

St. Magdalena Monastery Church in Grünwald, a district of Lenzkirch, contains a late Gothic sandstone relief. As a single work of art, it provides a specific point of interest in the town’s history. Another historical connection is the Lenzkirch clock factory, founded in 1851 and the first of its kind in the Black Forest. Together, these subjects show two distinct sides of history: a late Gothic work in a monastery church and early clockmaking.
