Discover Bad Wildbad through three distinct highlights: hiking trails, destinations on Sommerberg, and the spa gardens and town history. When planning your trip, it helps to keep these themes separate. This lets you decide whether to focus mainly on longer routes, individual viewpoints and attractions, or cultural insights. Start by choosing what you would most like to experience in Bad Wildbad.

Hiking Trails in Bad Wildbad and on Sommerberg

Bad Wildbad has more than 240 kilometres of signposted hiking trails along the diamond-shaped trail markers. Sommerberg also offers 235 kilometres of paths for hiking, walking, cycling and enjoying nature. These figures cover different kinds of routes: Bad Wildbad’s are described as signposted hiking trails, while the Sommerberg paths also cater to activities beyond hiking. When planning, you can first decide whether hiking is your main focus or whether you would like to give equal consideration to walks and cycling. Bad Wildbad is also located directly on the Black Forest long-distance trail, the Mittelweg, which runs from Pforzheim to Waldshut. This means that, alongside the local hiking options, you can also consider a long-distance route.

Sommerberg: Views and Attractions

The Naturpark-AugenBlick Bad Wildbad is on the panoramic terrace right next to the Sommerbergbahn mountain station. The WILDLINE suspension bridge is 380 metres long and 60 metres above the valley. From the bridge, there are views plunging 300 metres down to the Enz Valley and Bad Wildbad. Its setting and views are key features of this attraction. Abenteuerwald Sommerberg offers a different experience: across more than 8,000 square metres, there are over 20 play and learning stations integrated into the forest. As a forest playground, it combines play and learning in a woodland setting, setting it apart from the trails and viewpoints.

Spa Gardens, Guided Tour and Rafting History

The bookable Royal Town Tour of Bad Wildbad and the spa gardens covers the town’s history, historic buildings and bathing culture of the time. The spa gardens in Bad Wildbad are a natural-style park. In Bad Wildbad-Calmbach, the Heimat- und Flößermuseum (local history and rafting museum) uses detailed models, photographic documents and lifelike figures to present the cultural past of the Black Forest region and the history of rafting. The guided introduction to Bad Wildbad and the rafting exhibits in Calmbach therefore offer two different ways to explore local and regional history.

Trip-Planning Information

The Sommerbergbahn valley station is right in the centre of Bad Wildbad, near the Uhlandplatz S-Bahn stop. This reference point can help with orientation and travel planning; check the latest transport information in advance. If you plan to visit the Heimat- und Flößermuseum, check the current visiting arrangements. For the bookable Royal Town Tour, it is worth checking your preferred date. You can then choose the focus of your visit: hiking, Sommerberg attractions, or the spa gardens and town history.
