Blumberg to Löffingen
You'll spend the day hiking through Wutach Gorge on narrow winding paths that run alongside the river. It's quite a sight watching the water disappear into underground passages and then reappear further downstream. The terrain gets easier as you approach Schattenm\u200bhle, a small country inn where you can grab refreshments. From there, catch the hiking bus to your accommodation in Löffingen. Total hiking time is about 4 to 5 hours depending on your pace.

The path gets steeper and windier as you work your way out of the gorge, but once you reach Lenzkirch, the landscape opens up considerably. From there, continue to the small village of Oberfischbach where you'll settle for the evening. Plan on about 5 to 6 hours of hiking today.
