Easy Trails in Black Forest

We are three 19 year old girls girls first time visiting Germany and we would like to hike the Black Forest. Any recommendations of easy trails which can be completed in ONE day? It would be very much appreciated if links and maps can be provided.

I have already looked at http://easyhiker.co.uk/hiking-trail-in-germany-black-forest-westweg/ and some other websites, but the information about trails are not very concrete. :(

Hope to hear some recommendations, advises or experience sharing! Thanks!

I'm older now so I enjoy the less strenuous day hikes (nowadays 10-12 k max). An easy walk is around the Titesee, with restaurants and cafes for a beer and coffee. You can go up the Feldberg mountain nearby taking the cable car to the top for a walk with good views. Of course you can walk up/down the Triberg and Todtnauer waterfalls. My experience with the mountains in the Black Forest is they are shaped like sharp teeth. They are below the treeline, but pretty steep for up and down climbing across them. You may have already been to these websites...
Look here for "Wandern im Schwarzwald." most of these sites are in German, but not too difficult to figure out.

This is a good site for day walks (Tageswanderungen). It has videos, map and GPS coordinates. Click one of the places on the right: http://www.schwarzwald-wandern.net/tageswanderungen/
