Little Himmelsfelsen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although it stands in the shadow of its “big brother,” it offers a charm all of its own: From here, you have a particularly beautiful view towards Geislingen, which makes it a popular, but less frequented, photo spot.

August 12, 2022,„Geislinger Felsen-Tour“ – auf und ab durchs Eybacher Tal

It's off to a good start - we just missed the bus we wanted to take from the train station to the SC Geislingen car park. So our tour started at the train station to the actual starting point at the SC car park in Eybacher Tal.
It starts on Jürgen-Klinsmann-Weg, we cross the road to Stötten and immediately turn …

We start the tour at the parking lot in the Eybach Valley. This is a very strenuous hike. We follow the steep zigzag path up to the Anwandfelsen rock. From there, we enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the town of Geislingen an der Steige. We then continue along the ridge toward the Himmelsfelsen, the landmark of Eybach, with a …

November 13, 2022,Löwenpfad = Geislinger Felsentour

On the way to the Lone Valley, the journey was too far for us. Spontaneously parked in Geislingen and walked the Löwenpfad. Brilliant autumn weather, beautiful forest trails. The yellow of the trees in front of the deep blue sky is an absolute autumn dream.
