🪂 At the paragliding rock, the sky becomes a stage. In suitable conditions, paragliders launch here above the Alb-platå and soar out over Neidlingen. 🌬️ 🥾 The spot is just as worthwhile for hikers: take a break at the rock, watch the launches, and enjoy the wide view over the valley. ⛰️ 📸 One of those places where you like to stay a few minutes longer.

The ancient agricultural culture of the scattered fruit orchard seemed to have been forgotten for a time, as closely planted monocultures yielded higher profits in the short term. But it was eventually rediscovered as ecologically valuable and brought back from the proverbial "oblivion". Therefore, scattered fruit orchards experienced a partial comeback. Fortunately, this is also the case here in the vicinity of Reutlingen, more precisely northwest of the village of Kappishäusern.
