Hiking in Baden-Baden, Germany leads quickly from the spa town into the northern Black Forest, where paths climb Merkur for broad Rhine Valley views and wind past the granite towers of Battert near Hohenbaden Castle. Walks around Kreuzfelsen, Waldenecksee, and Oberer Waldsee feel close to town yet deeply wooded, giving Baden-Baden a distinctive mix of steep hills, rock, and old resort elegance.
