Plans

I've seen Schauinslandbahn advertised as a local attraction, but wasn't sure how or when to make the most of it. Here's an answer!

Bus to Horben (covered by Deutschlandticket), Schauinslandbahn gondola to the top (separate ticket), hike around. ~~Or maybe start with a bus to somewhere between Oberried and Hofsgrund, for variety and so that the hike is all uphill.~~ Never mind, I don't think you can buy Schauinslandbahn tickets at the top.

Expedition

In Freiburg, clouds were starting to clear, letting through a hot sun. Good day to seek cooler temperatures at altitude. Google Maps sent me on the number 2 tram to the number 21 bus in order to reach the lower gondola station. It turns out the bus route begins exactly where the tram tracks end, fairly far out a valley. Also navigating this transfer with me were another solo tourist and a grandmother with two grandchildren.

Transferring from tram to bus -- Coyotebush (talk) @47.9644,7.8577 10:23, 5 August 2024 (GMT+02:00)

The gondola station sold us all tickets and filled gondolas to their capacity of 7, so the 5 already mentioned were joined by an older duo for the 20-minute ascent.

Definitely cooler at the top - almost chilly under some clouds. I paid visits to the restroom and snack stand first (also noting a ticket booth), then had Google Maps chart a route to the hashpoint.

Finally ready to hike -- Coyotebush (talk) @47.9095,7.8914 11:40, 5 August 2024 (GMT+02:00)

Back down again -- Coyotebush (talk) @47.9362,7.8649 15:31, 5 August 2024 (GMT+02:00)
