Will the capercaillie survive in the Black Forest?

The Black Forest for Connoisseurs – Unspoiled Nature and Beautiful Views: A hike through the cultural landscape of the Central Black Forest, past stately Black Forest farms with their farm chapels and contented cows. In the past, capercaillies were a common sight on the heights of the Central Black Forest. In Tennenbronn, over 50 of these fascinating birds were counted at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, their population in the Black Forest is critically endangered. On this hike, we’ll go capercaillie hunting, just as Emperor Wilhelm II did back then. On May 9, 1908, the Emperor bagged three capercaillies in Tennenbronn. Black Forest guide Martin Grießhaber will reenact a hunt, and anyone who wants to can “bag” a capercaillie themselves. This family-friendly tour starts at the Remsbach hiking parking lot. The meeting point is the Naturpark-Stern. The 4-kilometer route has only a slight elevation gain and follows the “Augenblicksrunde Auerhahnweg” trail for much of the way. ##### **Facts & Figures** - Tour length: 4 km - Tour duration: 2 hours **Where does the tour take place?** Rottweil region, Schwarzwald-Baar, 78144 Schramberg - Tennenbronn **Meeting point:** Remsbach hiking parking lot
