Wooden Frame on Herzog-Jäger Trail Waldenbuch

Today we had a longer drive, but it was very worthwhile.
The rain had stopped and we were able to start our hike in the beautiful Schönbuch after 10 am. Field, forest, and meadow paths, which alternated and were easy to walk except for a few spots (steep and wet), characterize this premium hiking trail. Perfect as a summer hike …

Beautiful premium hiking trail in Waldenbuch. Lots of forest and shade, just right for today 😊🌞

Normally it's 13.7 km... but we also walked off the path. Good parking, and the hike starts well from there.

The hike has a lot to offer 😊
