"Round Hohenwart & Schellbronn" is a classic Gold city tour in Pforzheim city forest — a bit more demanding than the shorter Hohenwart loop, with Wolfsgrube, Simmerich and Hohe Warte. Start is Schönbornstraße in Hohenwart; about 15 minutes from Schellbronn by car.
Via trim trail, Hasenackerweg and Wolfsgrubenweg you reach historic Wolfsgrube — natural monument with views into Würm valley. Further on via Grenzweg and Heuweg into Hagenschieß forest.
The route leads over Schellbronner Simmerich — a popular forest passage on the Biet plateau — to the scout hut and via Alte Kirchenweg to Hohe Warte on the Biet plateau (573 m — observation tower no longer standing).
After the descent follow Wildmauer, Waldbronn and the return via Klebweg to Schönbornstraße. About 18 km, moderate difficulty, walking time roughly 4½ hours.
