Rock tunnel

Highlight • Cave

Swing Bench by the Pond in Hahnenbachtal

On the small, reed-gushed pond stands a swing bench on one side of the shore and on the other bank a wooden deckchair - the perfect place to rest and enjoy nature.

Today we were adventurous in the Hahnenbachtal. The dream loop is always great and this time we were able to cross the stream using the great ox piano.
In keeping with the heat protection program🤣, there were also a few large, cool tunnels that had to be walked.
Manu made me laugh when she accidentally landed in the stream with …

The trigger for today's tour was yesterday's SWR weather presenter Kathrin Illig. She was in the Hahnenbach valley looking for wild garlic. 🌱🌱🌱. At the beginning of the tour gabs wet feet. At the ford the stepping stones were flooded. 1. Variant: take a different path. 2nd variant: shoes and stockings out and through the stream. Was flawless👍😁

I didn't write anything about it. We thought it was pretty good. I decided that day that I would walk the Soonwaldsteig soon. I booked 2 nights' accommodation, though.

July 8, 2023,Hahnenbach Traumschleife

Hi Komootler, the Hahnenbach Traumschleife was voted the most beautiful hiking trail in Germany in 2012. A really great hike with many highlights. Various pieces of information along the way report on the varied history of the region. At the end of the hike there is the Forellenhof with excellent food. All together is rightly a premium hike.

A very nice tour in the spirit of Golden October - so nice.
Many highlights in a relatively few kilometers, which meant that we dawdled a bit 😎.
It is very easy to understand why this hiking trail is rated so highly - we had a lot of fun and the absolute highlight is the Schmidtburg 😘
