Adventure trail "Hornberger-Schießen-Weg"

Almost everyone knows the saying, "It ended like the Hornberg Shooting." But what exactly happened? From the town center up to Hornberg Castle, the story unfolds as it might have. Back in 1564. There are 14 stations along the way and picnic areas. From the castle hill, there's a fantastic view of the town. You can see the Black Forest Railway viaduct and gaze down into the Gutach Valley. There, you'll also find a multimedia presentation about the "Hornberg Shooting." The path is well-suited for strollers. For children, the "Little Landsknecht" playfully guides them along the way. If you purchase "Hornberg Balls" for a small fee at the "Kramerkarren" (peddler's cart), the Tourist Information Office, the Hotel "Schloss Hornberg," or the Natur-Café Waidele, you'll have access to additional games! "Hornberg Balls €2." The walk takes 1.5 hours and starts on Bahnhofstrasse (Station Street).
