The circular route leads from Bad Herrenalb along the Albtal spring nature trail into the beautiful and idyllic Gaistal Valley. The return route leads via the Hirschwinkelhütte to the historic monastery district. This route takes us past the Härtwighütte and the Knollbrücke to Zieflensberg and the Upper Gaistal Valley, with the Landgasthof Spechtschmiede and Skiheim Talwiese refreshment stops. The return route continues via the Hirschwinkelhütte, with its barbecue area, around the Wurstberg mountain, back to Bad Herrenalb.

It is a pity that the monastery was destroyed. It must have had a great monastery church.

Part of the Widkatzen and the spring adventure trail. Covered seating at one end of the bridge. Beautiful rock formations on the other side of the river. And you can also get directly to the Alb from here. A very nice place.

The rushing water accompanies you the whole way and there are places where you can refresh your feet if the weather is good.

I think you have to take a look at the monastery ruins. History buffs as well as architecture fans will get their money's worth. There are also beautiful hiking trails in the area.
