Gäurandweg is a very well signposted hiking trail administered by Schwarzwaldverein. It crosses Heckengäu alongside the eastern slopes of Black Forest with it’s varied landscapes but also some cultural and historical highlights. It’s passing field land, wood land, tablelands and valleys, covered with fruit tree meadows, juniper heath and innumerous hedges of haw- and blackthorn. The open plains offer lots of beautiful views to Black Forest in the West and Swabian Alb in the East.

Unassuming, seemingly flat trail that uses a mix of foot paths, disused railway lines, canal paths. That is until you hit Manchester  when it becomes a technical navigation route and starts its heady climb into the clouds of the Pennine range.

The Chattooga River, a federally designated wild and scenic river, is most known as one of the southeast's premier whitewater rafting and fly fishing locations as well as the backdrop of the 1972 movie "Deliverance".
