A leisurely round in the Queich valley with a worthwhile stop at the Paddelweiher Hütte.
Calling a rock (in the third picture) "Eben-fallen-er" is just great 😊

Start and finish at Paddelweiher near Hauenstein. Today only a flat circular route, the 🐕 is "paw sick".
A few highlights have already been noted for next time, such as the Felsensteig to the Hoher Kopf, Dümpeltal, Hasenteller....and the "Dicke Eiche" forest home. The path was easy to walk and also ideal for prams and bicycles

A pleasant little walk through the beautiful Stephanstal. Two knight's stones, two great rocks, two ponds and a few fish ponds and the Paddelweiherhütte hut is a great place to start. What more could a hiker want?

I've heard so many times that if you come to Hauenstein, you absolutely have to go to the 👟meile🤔
So you can 🐕 get back to Hauenstein and go to the Queichquellenweg, a lovely, easy path along the Queich River!
Well, what can I say, I didn't stop at the Schuhmeile 😄 I somehow lack the shopping gene 🤣

We often used to run the lap with the stroller, later with the balance bike. Today in the rain through the biggest mud.
