April 20, 2025,Osterwanderung. Frühling - Felsen - Fernblick. Schwäbische Alb.

Our starting point was Owen (pronounced "Auen") at the foot of the Swabian Alb. The historic town center impresses with its well-preserved buildings – many half-timbered houses date back to the 16th and 17th centuries and give the town a charming, almost tranquil atmosphere.

A fantastic and also demanding tour. Direction Burg Teck along the Grad, then down into the valley near Bissingen, through beautiful orchards, after 9km we were up again. Burg Teck invited us to a cool beer. A magnificent view from the tower up to the Stuttgart TV tower.

Another 3 km that Komoot didn't count because it just went on a break again and I didn't notice 🫣😀🫡
The weather was good except for the descent towards Bissingen. When we got to the bus stop it started to rain heavily. ☺️
But everyone stayed dry 👍😁
