Hiking

This circular hike on the Alb plateau above Neuffen is particularly relaxing, as there is hardly any elevation to overcome. You can recharge your batteries at beautiful vantage points. Directly from the Hochholz car park you will have your first great view over the Neuffen valley. There is a large…

Molach Biotope (Former Volcanic Crater)

Highlight • Volcano

The Molachsee was a former volcanic crater.
Today it had little water but enough to make the water lilies bloom. It can be easily circumnavigated on a dirt path.

A short walk in autumnal temperatures. Before that, we stopped off at the rustic pub Zum Mostkrug in Erkenbrechtsweiler. There are SchwaPas - Swabian tapas - and all kinds of stories from the landlord, who grew up in the converted house. If you like cider, there is a lot on offer here, there are also great tasting options, but there …

Today we caught the right time window, in which the sun came out a little, in order to do another high-altitude hike.

Premium walking trail today with a short detour to the parking lot rock. In the hope of some snow, today we chose the short loop along the Celtic oppidum between our everyday duties. Well, apart from a few miserable bits of snow, it was a green-brown nature experience.
By the way, the Hochholz hiking car park now costs a flat …

Today I tried a hike of the "Hochgehberge". Great tour that can be viewed in the original on the Hochgehberge account or at hochgehberge.de. It is also very pleasant to have your own signage along the way so that the navigation system can stay in the backpack. Only after the quarry is a sign missing that directs you to the …

Starting at the "Hochholz" hikers' car park, you walk along the Heidengraben straight towards the "Glasses" vantage point - it doesn't get its name by chance: through the oversized glasses you have a clear view of the Neuffen Valley and the imposing Hohen Neuffen Fortress.

What to do when you don't have much free time on the weekend when the weather is nice? ... That's right, a short walk along the Albtrauf is always nice. "Hochgehsiedlung" also has the perfect view of the valley to Neuffen from the Brille viewpoint, and further up, beautifully on the mountain, is the castle of the same name, "Hohenneuffen". …
