Hochgehschätzt – Hayingen-Glastal premium hiking trail

Comfortable round with beautiful paths. Very busy on weekends though.

The tour itself is very easy to walk. Despite pain in my knee, I didn't have any major problems with the track. Before that I visited the Wimsen Cave, which I definitely recommend! The tour runs most of the time over fields and meadows. So when it's hot, the sun is beating down on you all the time. Unfortunately, that was quite exhausting. Also, most of the time you only walk on gravel paths... But the end of the route, which runs through the Glastal, was really nice! I can also recommend the Bio-Gasthof Friedrichshöhle 😊👌🏻 Unfortunately, my pictures were mixed up again...

Tour description from the ROTHER hiking guide "Lion Trails & High-altitude Mountains" - Tour 35 "To the largest juniper heath in the Swabian Alb At the beginning, the highly esteemed premium trail is all about water, as the crystal-clear Hasenbach stream is its constant companion. It then climbs through the adjacent Schweiftal valley to Hayingen and the Digelfeld nature reserve, the largest juniper heath in the Swabian Alb biosphere reserve. Unique vegetation awaits discovery. The magnificent hiking circuit leads through a wide valley, the romantic Glastal, past Ehrenfels Castle and back again."

Sometimes my Garmin records some pretty stupid things, nobody runs all over the place like that😂

Start parking lot Wimsener cave. A great circular route 🤗🥰 Route a little longer to get to the fish pond 😊 to the blue lagoon 😍

Today it was time to go hiking and when the premium hiking trail starts practically on your doorstep..... https://hochgehberge.de/touren/hochgehschaetzt-premiumwanderweg-hayingen-glastal/

Premium tour with a detour and visit to the Wimsen Cave: What an idyll.😍 Lush flowers, countless butterflies, bumblebees and other fascinating insects. You hardly noticed the rumbling of the sky and the threatening rain showers and thunderstorms. Fortunately, there wasn't much water coming from above, but there was crystal-clear water to admire in the valleys and the Wimsen Cave.

A really great premium hiking tour! Especially in the beautiful Glastal and at the idyllic Wimsener Höhle there is hardly anything going on at this time of the year. From Hayingen you hike via Wacherholderheiden to the Hayinger Brückle. The tour then runs through the Glastal, past Ehrenfels Castle until you reach the Wimsen Cave. From there the tour leads back via the Schweiftal to Hayingen.
