Saig: Trails, Activities and Views

Saig offers a variety of ways to enjoy an active holiday: the Saig Panorama Trail starts at the Haus des Gastes, Kuhnigunde’s Kuhle(h)rpfad combines activities with the theme of agriculture, and a toboggan run leads to Titisee. The themed trail also offers views of Saig and the Hochfirst with its observation tower. You can choose between hiking, solving puzzles and tobogganing, rather than viewing the activities as similar trails.

Hiking trails with different highlights

The 3.89-kilometre Saig Panorama Trail starts at the Haus des Gastes in Saig. Its length gives you a concrete reference point for planning your day; the named starting point helps you consider this trail as a hiking option in its own right. When choosing your accommodation in Saig, you can consider whether this starting point suits the outings you want to focus on during your stay.

Kuhnigunde’s Kuhle(h)rpfad on Kuhberg in Saig, a district of Lenzkirch, has a different focus: visitors solve engaging tasks and learn about agriculture in the Hochschwarzwald in a playful way. There is a playground along the trail; it also offers views of Saig and the Hochfirst with its observation tower. The tasks, agricultural theme and views give the trail its own character. This distinguishes it from the Saig Panorama Trail, whose known features are its starting point and length.

Tobogganing and refreshments after a hike

A 1.2-kilometre toboggan run leads from Saig to Titisee, offering something different from the hiking trails. Seasonal operating details may vary, so check in advance whether the run is open if you plan to go tobogganing.

As an addition to a day of hiking, there is a water-treading facility at the Steig in Saig. You can refresh tired feet there after a hike. The activities are clearly distinct: the panoramic trail and themed trail invite you to hike, the toboggan run leads towards Titisee, and the water-treading facility offers a refreshing experience of its own.

More experiences in the Lenzkirch destination

The Lenzkirch destination also offers a variety of excursion themes. The Lenzkirch section of the Schluchtensteig leads into the Haslach Gorge and past the Rechen and Hölloch rock formations. The gorge and rocks therefore provide distinct landscape features alongside Saig’s themed trails.

The Urseemoor can be seen from the Lenzkirch–Raitenbuch road. Entry to the nature reserve is prohibited. The Ursee Nature Reserve in the municipality of Lenzkirch protects Lake Ursee, the surrounding bogs and fens, and adjacent meadows interspersed with belts of trees. These habitats support numerous endangered animal and plant species, as well as rare and threatened plant communities and ecological communities. The view from the road and the protection of the area together determine how the landscape can be experienced here.

Another circular tour in the Lenzkirch destination is Kucky's Vogelwelt Lenzkirch: the themed trail is 1.7 kilometres long. Along the way, you can solve tasks; there is also a bird’s nest swing and a playground. For a cultural highlight, visit St. Magdalena Monastery Church in Grünwald, a district of Lenzkirch. It features a Late Gothic sandstone relief.
