Hiking Black Forest - luggage transport questions

Hello -

Four of us will be hiking the Schluchtensteig trail in mid-September. Starting in Stulingen and ending in Wehr. We're not using a tour company and making reservations with inns, etc. ourselves.

Is it possible to arrange transport of our luggage (1 carry-on size each) from town to town? I see some tour operators do this as part of their overall service, but we just need the transport and not the accommodations.

I'm thinking we'd just arrange with hosts as we book, but wanted to check here to see if something better or ???

Frequently the tour operators will offer this service ala carte. Email them and ask.

That is why the tour companies are in business. At 529 EUR per person (double occupancy) for 7 nights hotel stays with breakfast and luggage transfer, looks like a decent deal. Alternative is pack your gear as you hike, leaving other luggage at hotel in Stuehlingen for a fee, and pick it after you are done.

thank you

I'll inquire with operators.

We'd like to just use day packs every day and have larger stuff moved as we go.
