July 10, 2024,TECK - ENDLICH ‼️‼️

Anyone who knows my history knows why I was so happy to finally go to the Teck again.
Dream weather yesterday, rain this morning.
Rain radar says it won't rain again until the evening. I left the rubber tires at home, put on my new trousers and hat and off I went.
Parked the car at Bissinger See in so-so …

Very relaxed tours with my brother with a detour to Diepoltsburg. Nice to walk, very much in the forest. Teck was busy but not overly crowded.

Another 3 km that Komoot didn't count because it just went on a break again and I didn't notice 🫣😀🫡
The weather was good except for the descent towards Bissingen. When we got to the bus stop it started to rain heavily. ☺️
But everyone stayed dry 👍😁

Today we went up to the Teck and the Sybillenloch and then further over the Gelben Fels to the Rauber ruins. A very nice route, wonderful paths and sunshine. It was a very nice day today.

May 18, 2022,"Hochgehadelt" Burg Teck - Runde ab Bissingen (abgekürzte Version)

The premium hiking trail "high-heeled" usually extends over 12.9 km and 580 vertical meters. That was a bit too much for us, so we took a shortcut at the saddle arch and went back down into the valley to Bissingen. If you stay straight on the footpath you come through a beautiful avenue of chestnut and lime trees.
