March 18, 2023,Lange Steige – Felsenmeer x Grabenstetten

An interesting, leisurely tour with hiking buddy Ryan and with a number of 'up's' and 'down', but without difficult passages uphill or downhill. Like in real life, right? Caution: Leading question 😉 The entrance via the direct path to the Gustav Jakob Cave seems to be overgrown and covered with dead wood. We decided to walk down the Rabenfelsenhangweg (puhhh, …

November 23, 2021,Von Grabenstetten zum oberen Lenninger Tal, durchs Felsenmeer zurück

A dream tour on a dream day ☀️. Good, with the exception of the Strohweiler Steige, which is just steep 🤪.
The first and last two km were awesome!
Adventurous paths, great views, absolutely recommendable 👍.
Also the rest of the round in a beautiful landscape.
Top!

May 24, 2025,Große Schrecke – Donntalbach Runde von Gutenberg

The tour includes three climbs, some with gradients over 20%, two of which are …

May 18, 2024,Grabenstetten - Falkensteiner Höhle und Sinterterrassen Runde 👍

An extensive hike with two destinations from the "to-do" list: the Falkensteiner Cave and the travertine terraces near Gutenberg. Despite yesterday's constant rain, the passages on the very rustic hiking trails were still manageable with a certain amount of caution and surefootedness. The large amount of water made both the travertine terraces and the various streams look even more impressive. …

July 10, 2021,🇩🇪👣“Alb“-Traum - Schlattstall-Ruine Sperberseck-lange Steige🚶

I copied this tour from Stephan, thank you for sharing!

The route is beautiful and rightly classified as a difficult tour by Komoot! And, naive as I am, I'll do it alone ... Was partly borderline for me, who confessed to being afraid of heights! The ascent to the Sperberseck ruins was completely in the shade, but tough! I hope …
