Schaichtalweg: Gravel path along the Schaich

Highlight • Trail

It's a great route, always along the Schaich, with small lakes and biotopes. Now in summer, however, there is a mosquito and horsefly alarm. There is no great joy in the beautiful benches.

Steigweiher Pond

Highlight • Lake

As we drove past, the two pairs of geese with their seven boys were turned around, waiting, enjoying nature and taking pictures.

Herzog-Jäger-Pfad Trail, Naturpark Schönbuch

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's like a small downhill trail, with lots of rocks, small drops, and plenty of speed.
The trail combines very well with Schönbuch Trails #30 (downhill).
GREAT, I highly recommend it.

Stubensandstone Quarry for Ulm Minster Restoration

Highlight • Structure

The sandstone blocks indicate that the Betzenberg was formerly used in several places as a quarry. Also the Ulmer Münster was built with sandstone from these quarries.

Wooden house on a tree stump in Naturpark Schönbuch

Highlight • Structure

A wooden house carved from a log, which you almost overlook. Especially due to the now quite abundant moss, this little work of art has its very own character.

Right next to the large hut of the forest youth campground there is a large information board that provides information about the history of the young cattle pasture and the campground.
