Mühlingen offers two circular routes of different lengths as a concrete starting point for planning your trip: the Schindelwald Circular Route and the Bergholz Circular Route. One leads through a large, continuous forest area; the other is a popular route for hikers, Nordic walkers, and joggers. This lets you first compare whether the forest scenery or the shorter route, which accommodates several activities, matters more to you.

Two Circular Routes in Mühlingen

The Schindelwald Circular Route is about 7 km long and runs through one of the largest continuous forest areas in the region. Two specific points of reference for choosing a route come together here: its stated length and the forest landscape along the way. If the surroundings are an important part of your outing, this circular route is an obvious option.

The Bergholz Circular Route is about 4.7 km long and is a popular route for hikers, Nordic walkers, and joggers. Its stated length is shorter than that of the Schindelwald Circular Route; if you are looking for the shorter of the two, you will find it here. The activities mentioned also offer guidance if you would like to include hiking, Nordic walking, or jogging in your trip plans.

The two distances can be compared directly. Consider how much distance you would like to cover and whether the forest scenery of the Schindelwald Circular Route is decisive in your choice. Check local conditions before setting out.
