October 22, 2023,Wolfsschlucht – Rauchiger Fels Runde von Seeburg

We started in Seeburg am Schlössle steeply uphill over the Seeburgersteig to the Alb plateau to Wittlingen. Down through the very beautiful and wild Wolfsschlucht, before going steeply uphill again, past beautiful wall paintings, up to the Schillerhöhle, which is supposedly freely accessible for about 250m! Absolutely recommended... After this highlight we continued up to the Hohen Wittlingen ruins with …

A really nice hike, the fog today made the tour really mystical. Our little fire at the foot of the castle ruins was great, just "fry" a few marshmallows. The castle ruins are currently closed for renovation work.

A wonderful weekend of hiking
🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️and 🐕🐕🐕 ended today.

The highlight of the hike was the little sleeping fox cub and the wolf gorge.
Greetings also to the Komootlerin Daggi. Also to the two Komootlers from Stuttgart, two really funny encounters.

The last section of the tour before crossing the federal road is currently a bit challenging because you have to cross twigs and branches from tree felling. This works well when conditions are dry, but I find crossing the branches and twigs less fun when wet.

Everything was just right there. Great paths, a gorge, a cave, a ruin, beautiful rocks and the weather was really friendly too! Now slowly more green ☺️, the soul will be a little happier.
Komoot briefly became a bit independent today, for whatever reason. Very nice tour, absolutely recommended!

Don't understand komoot. What is this highlight spam?
See absolutely no added value in it.

Unfortunately, today was a rainy lap. Neither from the various viewing rocks nor from Hohenwittlingen Castle did you have a nice view due to rain and wafts of fog. And yet the round was varied. The highlight for me is the Wolfschlucht. Very alpine and also a bit slippery in this weather.
