April 24, 2022,Ab Schramberg, Bernecktal: Falkenstein - Lauterbacher Wasserfälle - Purpen - Ramstein - Heuwegle

A great tour in rainy weather

Today I drove to Schramberg in the Berneck Valley and started there. Shortly after the parking lot we went up to the castle ruins of Falkenstein and further over the Berneckberg to the Lauterbach waterfalls. From here then along a long incline along the Trombach and via Tiersreute to Purpen.

April 17, 2022,Tour rund ums Bernecktal

Today from the forest sports field in Schramberg we did a tour around the Bernecktal. Demanding tour with 728 HM, on the Heuwegle you should be sure-footed, fantastic landscape with great views. Partly the path also leads on the cat path.

Hallo Freunde des gepflegten Wanderns,

eine schöne Wanderung im Raum Schramberg unternommen, rechts und links der Schiltach. Ziel waren einige Burgruinen in dieser Gegend.

Gestartet unterhalb der Falkensteiner Kapelle am Ortsausgang in Richtung Tennenbronn. Das Parken war kostenlos möglich, einige Stellplätze vorhanden.
