Simmersfeld: Cross-country skiing, tobogganing and hiking trails
Accommodation in Simmersfeld
In Simmersfeld, the municipality’s network of cross-country ski trails covers 39.5 km. If cross-country skiing is to be a key part of your stay, this gives you a concrete point of reference when looking for accommodation. Other local options include signposted hiking trails, cycling routes, a toboggan run, and places of natural and historical interest.
Cross-country skiing and tobogganing
Of the 39.5 km, 37.5 km are classic trails and 2.0 km are skating trails. The stated total is therefore weighted clearly toward classic cross-country skiing, with the shorter skating route forming a separate part of the network. This breakdown helps you assess the focus of your planned outings. The toboggan run is a different kind of winter activity: it lies between Lift I and Lift II and is 250 m long. The network of trails for two skiing styles is therefore complemented by a single, clearly measured toboggan run.
The cross-country ski trails and toboggan run are seasonal activities that depend on snow conditions. Check local conditions before your trip. The stated trail lengths indicate the respective scale, but do not replace checking the conditions for your planned visit.
Hiking trails, cycling routes and water treading
Simmersfeld has 90 km of signposted hiking trails. Two signposted cycling routes are listed: a family route and a route for sporty cyclists. Their descriptions have different focuses and offer a first point of reference if you would like to include hiking and cycling in your stay.
The water-treading facility in the Köllbachtal valley in Simmersfeld has a specific route. You can reach it on foot or by bicycle via the Köllbachweg, following it downhill. This specifies both the means of getting there and the route. That distinguishes this information from the details on the signposted hiking and cycling routes, which describe their extent and focus.
Landscape and history
The Schnaitbach forms where its two source streams, the Zugbach and Wolfsbach, meet: at the bend in the valley on the road from Simmersfeld to Fünfbronn. The Schnaitbachtal valley lies nearby, on the boundary between the districts of Calw and Freudenstadt. It is home to the remains of Schildeck Castle, the Schildmühle—a grain mill—and six sawmills. The valley is therefore a distinct point of natural and historical interest in the area around Simmersfeld.
A historical attraction right in Simmersfeld is St. John’s Church. It was rebuilt on the same site from 1886 to 1889, preserving the unusual chancel layout of the earlier building. Its connection to the predecessor building adds a specific piece of local history to the nature and trail options. Together, the ski trails, routes and these different local points of interest provide several distinct factors to consider when deciding which features matter most in choosing accommodation in Simmersfeld.
