November 19, 2023,Venusberg – Albblick Runde bei Aidlingen

Today we started in unstable weather, but as usual we were lucky and were rewarded with sunshine and a fantastic view at the end of our hike through Heckengäu. In between we had a hearty snack at one of the three Harthäusle and on the Venusberg we visited a Lost Places, the former radio station from World War II. Shortly …

October 15, 2025,Heckengäu: Herbstliche Runde am Venusberg

We wanted to enjoy the autumn sunshine in a beautiful landscape today. Unfortunately, the sun didn't shine quite as the weather app predicted. It was a shame, because the trees were already sporting autumnal colors. So, we were left with occasional patches of sunshine.

Unfortunately (at least on this day) with the Komoot app from about half of the route (small animal breeder's home Zum sweeten Huhn in Aidlingen) …

We downloaded today's tour from Manfred RK. We started at the WP Kirchtalhof, which is located a little outside of Aidlingen, but is easily accessible. Especially after the Venusberg there are some horse farms along the way. The small animal breeders association is located at the WP. On Sundays, the Café zum süßen Huhn is open from 13:00 - 18:00.
