Hansjakobweg I
The Hansjakob Way I (german: Hansjakobweg I), also called the Little Hansjakob Way (''Kleiner Hansjakobweg''), is a three-day circular walk in the Central Black Forest in Germany. It begins and ends in Schapbach, a village in the municipality of Bad Rippoldsau-Schapbach, between Wolfach and Freudenstadt. The roughly 44-kilometre-long hiking trail is named after the Baden author and parish priest, Heinrich Hansjakob (1837–1916). The path was opened in 1981 and is sponsored and maintained by the Black Forest Club. The walk runs to the settings for Hansjakob's stories, ''Erzbauern'' (1899), ''Waldleute'' (1897) and ''Abendläuten''. The waymark is a white diamond with a black Hansjakob hat, the headwear in which Hansjakob is portrayed in many contemporary pictures and photographs. At all the sights along the way, information boards have been erected, that relate mainly to the life and stores of Hansjakob. Day tours/stages First Stage: Schapbach – Wittichen Abbey – Schenke ...

Hiking Trail
A trail, also known as a path or track, is an unpaved lane or small road usually passing through a natural area. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, a path or footpath is the preferred term for a pedestrian or hiking trail. The term is also applied in North America to routes along rivers, and sometimes to highways. In the US, the term was historically used for a route into or through wild territory used by explorers and migrants (e.g. the Oregon Trail). In the United States, "trace" is a synonym for trail, as in Natchez Trace. Some trails are dedicated only for walking, cycling, horse riding, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, but not more than one use; others, as in the case of a bridleway in the UK, are multi-use and can be used by walkers, cyclists and equestrians alike. There are also unpaved trails used by dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles, and in some places, like the Alps, trails are used for moving cattle and other livestock. Usage In Australia, ...
