Great hike for hot days, as most of the time is under trees

The Ice Age Hunters' Trail in Blaubeuren leads along the many rock formations of the rock labyrinth and to caves of the Ice Age people (UNESCO World Heritage Site). From the train station we go up to the Spectacle Cave and the rock labyrinth. Continue to the Günzelburg ruins with a great view of the Achtal. From there down into …

Ice Age Trails 16/20 ✔️

I haven't walked an Ice Age Trail for a long time. So today I tackled the Ice Age Hunters Trail, a rather shorter but incredibly worth seeing tour. The 9.5km alternate highlights and beautiful paths, but you do have to really puff up the mountain twice.

Just like its northern twin, the "Felsenstieg", the "Eiszeitjägerpfad" offers extremely enjoyable hiking. But rather not at ground level, because almost 400 meters in altitude over less than ten kilometers have to be mastered. Except around the train station and in front of/in Weiler, you are always on paths, and even more often on velvety paths.

Since I had 2 hours until an appointment, I took the opportunity to "hunt" my 2/20 ice age paths.

Great area, surprising views and rock formations, but also tough climbs...

All in all a really nice round.

You should just enjoy it more often.

October 18, 2022,🥾 Blaubeuren: Küssende Sau 😘🐷 und Eiszeit🥶pfad ☀️

After I was at the hand surgery in Ulm this morning - a syringe 💉 from Dr. summer 😀 in my thumb ✋, I stopped in Blaubeuren for hiking.
Today only little Bärli was there - if I had known that things could be done so quickly in Ulm, Teddy 🐕 could have come too.

Anyone who wants to follow in the footsteps of Ice Age hunters has a great opportunity here in Blaubeuren. From the train station, the trail climbs steeply past the Brillenhöhle cave and the Kissing Sau cave on narrow paths up to the Günzelsburg castle ruins (approx. 1 hour). Here, we first enjoy the magnificent view before descending and climbing back …
