The Wüstenbach valley has lost some of its atmosphere due to clear cuts. Trail currently (May 22) in poor condition, avoid when wet!

From Burgstall the path went along the Murr to Kirchberg where we met the HW 10 which led us into Wüstenbachtal. Unfortunately the path along the Wüstenbach was slippery and wet, at one point it was difficult to get any further because there was a piece of it had slipped away. When it's dry in Wüstenbachtal, it's a nice hike. …

A nice round. The Murr has an incredible amount of water at the moment.

April 9, 2022,Kirchberg(Murr): Sinneswandel oder Barfuß im Bärlauch

Thunderstorms, hail, first heavy rain, then snowfall on Saturday night. . . The 3rd spring weekend couldn't start any better 😂
So the very best conditions for the planned hike in the Wüstenbach and Murr valleys.
Unfortunately, the Wüstenbach has "swallowed" parts of the beautiful path, yes, what to do with the water volumes. We had to dodge the pathless …

I discovered this tour on another hiking portal. We started in foggy weather. To my regret, the first 7 kilometers consisted mostly of asphalted paths. The Murrauen certainly had their charms. And then came the most beautiful part of the tour. The Wüstenbachtal. Rustic paths along the stream and a short stretch over stones in the water. Just great. It …

Relaxed and very idyllic round in the lower Murrtal. 🌳💦🌿
On the way back I made a stopover in Marbach am Neckar, which is currently particularly picturesque, which rounded off the day perfectly.

October 24, 2025,Wüstenbachtal – Murrauen Runde von Kirchberg an der Murr

A great decision not to cycle today. It was slippery and muddy, even on foot. Rain ☔️ and wind alternated. So often I wish I could just be out on my own for once. And today that wish came true. I didn't meet anyone on the hike. Once, a deer came out of the thicket a few meters in front …
