Highlights strung together like a string of pearls: The Gustav Ströhmfeld Trail is considered one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Swabian Alb – and has been since 1940!

But who is the man after whom a hiking trail is even named? Gustav Ströhmfeld was a hiking pioneer, the "Chief Trail Master" of the Swabian Alb Association. We …

We actually wanted to hike the last stage of the Murgleiter today, but the weather forecast was just too bad and so I pulled this hike out of my sleeve 😁

So we headed east towards the Swabian Alb. There it was only 40% rain and in the afternoon even sun. Nevertheless, we were prepared for rain and set off …

For me, it simply has to be done once a year. The trail has so much to offer! Florian and Jusi with challenging climbs and, as a reward, magnificent views. Long, rooty paths always along the edge of the Alb. Soft, springy forest floor. And the forest smells so good right now! It's like summer 🌞😃🌻🌲🌳 Then there are the …

I've had a really nice tour with motivated fellow hikers. Neither the fog nor the rain showers could stop us from walking the entire Gustav Strömfeld Trail from Metzingen to Neuffen. We had to tackle a few tough climbs and descents on mud and slippery stones. Highlights were:
📍 the Metzinger vineyard
📍 the Floriansberg
📍 the Jusi
📍 Hörnle …

After hiking all the circular trails around the Gustav Ströhmfeld Trail, today I hiked the entire trail in the opposite direction from the description, from Neuffen to Metzingen.

I parked at the free parking lot near the train station in Metzingen and continued by bus to Neuffen.

Everything a hiker's heart desires!! A scenic climb through the vineyards of Metzingen. Lots of orchards and steep rocky paths to the Florian and Jusi viewing mountains.
