Hansjakob Way I

Hansjakob Way I is a hiking trail through the Black Forest that runs from Haslach to Hausach. The route winds through forests with gentle elevation changes, connecting two small towns in the region.

The trail was named after a local writer whose connection to the area dates to the 19th century. The path markings feature the Heckerhut symbol, which recalls the republican movement during the 1848 revolution in Baden.

The trail honors writer Heinrich Hansjakob, whose life and works were deeply rooted in this region. Visitors walk through landscapes that shaped the author's stories and literary imagination.

Food and drink stops are only available at the two towns at the trail's start and end, so hikers should bring sufficient water and snacks. The path is best walked during dry weather with sturdy footwear to handle forest terrain.

The Kinzigtalbahn railway runs alongside the trail, allowing hikers to catch a train back to their starting point at either town. This option makes the walk flexible, letting visitors avoid retracing their steps.
