June 16, 2022,Wental Felsenmeer - eine Tour zum genießen 🤗

Today we finally wanted to see the Wental with the sea of rocks near Steinheim am Albuch, which was much advertised by our friends.
The area was very well divided into 2 areas 👍 One side is more or less the family side with lots of climbing, resting and barbecue facilities in a breathtaking landscape, while on the other side …

Very late today I decided to go to the wental. On the way there it was raining heavily and I was beginning to doubt whether that was a good idea. But the rain hardly stopped at the parking lot. Still unsure, I started with the smaller round, duration approx. 1 hour. Back at the parking lot, I wanted to start …

June 16, 2024,Genießertour: Wental mit Feldinsel Klösterle

A leisurely tour: It felt like we were taking more breaks than hiking, but it was lovely!
Due to the great weather, the rocks stood out particularly in the midst of the bright green and under the blue and white sky. We took our first break with home-baked goods at the beautifully situated play and barbecue area in the Gnannental …

March 31, 2024,Felsenmeer Wental und Wentaler Weible

On Easter Sunday it was supposed to be something special, so we were going to the Felsenmeer in Wental, which had appeared in an earlier research on Komoot....

The Felsenmeer is beautiful and fun, and the route to Wentaler Weible is also easy to walk, even though it is on roads. Unfortunately, it gets rather tough from here on as …

Today a familiar round with as much forest as possible. I can wear sunglasses again, but not for as long, otherwise they will press on the surgical wound behind my ear for too long.
I actually wanted to run this lap in December, but the 40cm high snow slowed me down 🤭
It feels so good to be out and …

In Albuch, with wonderful autumn weather, the start was at the Felsenmeer near Bartholomä, through the Wental, past beautiful rock formations into the Gnannental, through Bibersohl and on beautiful hiking trails back to the parking lot. Then we made a short detour into the sea of rocks.
