Moss-Covered Tufa Rocks and Springs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The tufa sinter terraces are almost completely covered with moss. The water drips off at the front and then flows under the path down the valley.

Kneipp pool by the ski hut

Highlight • Rest Area

Clean water treading area, for the "really tough" even in early March.

Autal Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

It's best to visit when the snowdrops are in bloom. The Autal waterfall is not spectacular, but it is still impressive and you can relax wonderfully to the sound of the rushing water.

Spring snowflakes in bloom in Autal

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the beginning of March, simply do the Märzenbecher-Autal hiking trail. Seven kilometers that inspire.

View of the Hausener Wand

Highlight • Viewpoint

The steeper path to the Märzenbecher is much less frequented and goes nicely through the forest

Beautiful Autal

Highlight • Forest

Especially in spring, when the March beaker blossoms, the Autal is totally overcrowded, especially on the weekends.

A great hike. Do it quickly before the March cups have withered

Thousands of snowdrops are currently blooming in the Autal valley...beautiful...the Autal parking lot is subject to a fee. The machine only accepts 1-euro coins—max. 5 coins, and nothing else. So, check your wallet before you leave... 😉

Finally I did the March cup tour and was richly rewarded! At the beginning it was a bit too busy for my taste, but fortunately it went well 👍 along the entire route there were always whole "carpets" with the March mugs - unfortunately the pictures don't come nearly as well over how it looks in Natura... was a very …

I saw a similar tour with Heidi Hurtig and since I've already been to Stuttgart and March cups (Leucojum vernum) don't occur that often in nature, I thought to myself, let's go. On the way I read the Altbach sign and had to smile. The two kind people Ömchen and Öpchen live there.
Even though it's only the middle of …

Forest and water trail in Bad Überkingen

There are four places that together form the municipality of Bad Überkingen: The main town itself and its sub-towns Hausen, Unterböhringen and Oberböhringen. They are all embedded in a fantastic cultural landscape, spread over 300 meters above sea level, blessed with a recognized healthy climate.

Quote of the day.
From today on you have to pay for the parking space and then you can wash your car 😂
We started from the parking lot in beautiful hiking weather. When we reached the first snowdrops we saw that unfortunately they weren't ready yet. The unfortunate thing was that the paths were in a bad condition.
In …

March 20, 2023,...und noch einmal die Märzenbecher-Tour...

...because it was so beautiful the weekend before last...during the week it's perfect for everyone who wants to have peace and quiet while looking at the March mugs.
This time I also went all the way up to the Autal waterfall - was very nice there!
