Hiking in the winter forest or would you prefer panoramic views? Why not experience both on this winter hike around Neuhausen.

The winter hike leads along side roads and cleared winter hiking trails past Purschenstein Castle towards the district of Dittersbach. With the Schwartenberg in view, the winter air can nip your nose here. Downhill through Dittersbach and then directly into the forest in the valley from Neuhausen towards Seiffen, the trail leads to the Steinhübel district of Seiffen. Here, in the shadow of the Schwartenberg, you head back towards Neuhausen. From the Schwartenbergweg you can see the village from a different perspective.

Directions

From Neuhausen town hall, the path leads first left and then immediately right up the Schloßberg to Purschenstein Castle. From there, continue past the glassworks museum and turn left towards Dittersbach. We follow the Dittersbacher Weg uphill, pass a farm on the right after approx. 1 km and turn left. The mountain road leads downhill into the valley, where we cross the road and walk straight on into the forest towards Steinhübel. We walk past the Kolbe factory through the Seiffen district and turn sharp left at the end of the road into Glashüttenweg and keep left towards Pension Diana. Straight ahead in the shadow of the Schwartenberg we come to the Biermann crossroads. Here we keep left again and follow the winter hiking trail through a few farmsteads towards the valley and the village center of Neuhausen.
