July 16, 2023,Grafensteige - Hohenurachsteig und Stadtrundgang Bad Urach

Beautiful views from the Hanner Felsen, plus the fascinating Hohenurach castle ruins and exciting nature. The whole thing coupled with a small city tour through the late medieval Bad Urach results in an all-round successful excursion.
As a reward, there was an ice cream.

April 30, 2025,Wanderung 7/2025; Grafensteige Bad Urach; b) Hohenurachsteig

Unfortunately, today I had to head back home. Before that, I wanted to hike another of the "Grafensteige" trails. I had actually planned to do that yesterday, but the severe muscle soreness from Monday's hike kept me from doing so, so I spent the day in Bad Urach and the thermal baths instead.
Although today's hike is listed as only …

We start our 4th Grafensteig Trail – the Hohenurachsteig – at the P+R parking lot in Bad Urach near the train station. With some steep climbs, we climb the Vorderer Hanner Felsen (front Hanner Rock) and enjoy the view of Bad Urach. We hike along the ridge on a wonderful forest path …

The hikers' car park is free. As far as I could see, there were no toilets and no water. You should be in good shape for the first climb, and even more so for the second to the castle ruins. The trail down to the ascent to the ruins is also quite challenging. Good footwear and a good tread are …

When Saturday is fully booked, Sunday is the perfect day for a short hike. No sooner said than done, and I headed to Bad Urach. My main destination was the Hohen Urach castle ruins. I noticed they're located on the Urach Hohensteig trail, which I then followed. The trail leads over the Hanna Rocks, offering a beautiful view of the …

February 5, 2025,PWW Grafensteige: Hohenurachsteig

I actually wanted to do the Hochbergsteig today, but the beginning was already closed off with signs indicating forestry work 🚫.
So I changed my plans and set my sights on the Hohenurachsteig. The challenging climb at the beginning was rewarded with numerous viewpoints on the edge of the slope. And the Hohenurach castle ruins were of course the highlight …
