View of the Neidlinger Valley from the Albtrauf

Highlight • Viewpoint

With the Reussenstein ruins in the foreground, it's a very beautiful picture. And when it's quiet, you can hear the rushing of the river in the valley from above.

Ascent through the Autal Valley near Wiesensteig to Ziegelhof

Neidlingen Waterfall

The ascent to the waterfall alone is worth it: very steep over a lot of roots. The steps up were their own waterfall in late December - the bridge over …

April 14, 2023,Zum Filsursprung, entlang der Fils und zur Ruine Reußenstein

Starting from the Bahnhöfle hiking car park, we first hiked to the Filsursprung. The way there was beautiful and we didn't meet anyone. That changed a bit in the very lovely Fils valley, but it's the holidays right now. Of course, the castle was well visited, but it is certainly worth it. Great tour with amazing views and beautiful nature. …

I think we were mostly on the Filsursprung tour, at least we constantly encountered the signs for the lion path.
The starting point was the Reußenstein hiking car park. When we got there it was cloudy and raining. In addition, a nice cold wind blew in places near the ruins. But today we had the Reußenstein completely to ourselves for …

Anniversary tour... Tour 100 on Komoot 😎
We also "built in" the Neidlinger waterfall but unfortunately it was only a trickle. It's a shame but it's still worth seeing.

I started from the paid parking lot at the paper mill. I followed the Löwenpfad Filsursprung trail for part of the way. A lovely, varied trail.
The view from the ruins is also very beautiful.
Simply a beautiful region.

Although I've been walking a lot lately, today for the first time in a long time, I did a tour that Komoot didn't glitch on and recorded it completely 🙈 We shortened the official route a bit
