It still needs a spring cleaning, but a nice idea

The Jägerwegle is an idyllic section on the Firstwaldrunde of the Fruchteaves Premium Trail: a narrow path with small bridges.

This rustic rest area invites you to linger in the summer.

Right next to it are three large information boards about the former "Fat Oak."

The panorama lounger is ideal for a little break on the Firstwald tour: you can easily put your feet up and enjoy the beautiful view.

The Schwanenholz playground and barbecue area is great for children. Nearby, there's a small stream in the forest with a fallen tree that makes a perfect seesaw. Perfect for a little adventure.

It was a lovely route with many beautiful and interesting paths 👍😁 Unfortunately, the Jägerwegle was closed 😬 Why do you sometimes see absolutely no way through in the pictures 🤷🏻‍♂️ then went around the outside 😁👍 I really enjoyed it 😁 👍 and got to the starting point in perfect condition 😉

Wonderfully signposted premium hiking trail, I can only recommend it to you. Lots of beautiful single trails with lots of nice rest stops. So if you ever pass by the Swabian Alb--->you'll know what to expect. In this sense: "The journey is the destination". Greetings from Middle Franconia

Finally getting out and airing the pear, it was about time. Luckily the weather cooperated despite the whims of April. Shaking off the frustration of the last few weeks usually works best in nature and the sight of the blossoming trees was a blessing for the soul. The path itself was sometimes very difficult to walk on. Because of the rain and the felling, there were a lot of muddy spots that you had to overcome acrobatically. The climb up the mountain was an effort for those who were out of shape - like us - but it was rewarded with a wonderful panorama. It would have been desirable for hiking groups with and without children to blend into the silence of the forest, but if you are looking for peace and quiet, you should definitely not choose the weekend of May 1st or weekends in general on such premium hiking trails. A hike on the Firstwald fruit eaves is probably worthwhile at any time of the year, but most of all when the apple and cherry trees are in bloom. Nice for hikers with dogs, but not barrier-free. I would definitely recommend it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍 That's it from me - your Lili. 🏔💕

The temperatures were still pleasant (20°) and we made our way to Nehren near Mössingen. Once there, we found that the premium hiking trail is pretty much identical to the tour we put together. So we followed the premium hiking trail. This is very well signposted, the path is varied, the paths are usually quite wide and most of them through the forest. The paths for cyclists and hikers are almost entirely separate. There are a number of benches and rest stops along the route. Some sections are not suitable for strollers and should be walked with caution after rain (surface rooted). Due to the drought, barbecues are currently prohibited.

Since time was short, we were looking for something nearby and found it ☺️ And right after 50 meters komoot left me again 🤬 Once again walked the Jägerwegle near Nehren. Partly quite muddy It started in the most wonderful weather and halfway through it was bubbling ⚡️💨 It was a gigantic atmosphere with lightning and thunder. We then got faster and faster and actually made it to the car with dry feet and then it started with heavy rain ⛈️💦 Fit perfectly ☺️👍🏻🙋‍♀️🙋🏼

Komoot keeps suggesting this beautiful tour to me. We walked it today. It was a great walk in great autumn weather. We tried to identify the mushrooms using an app. No idea if it was always right...
