April 4, 2025,Tour über die Hegau Vulkane von Singen nach Engen

A truly beautiful tour over Hohentwiel, Hohenkrähen, Mägdeburg, and Hohenhewen 🏰☀️

It was very challenging and definitely pushed me to my limits 😅

But it's all the more rewarding to see what my body is capable of now, something that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

July 14, 2024,🇩🇪 Engen - Singen (Hegauer Vulkantour)

I was inspired to do the Hegau volcano tour by @Ute at the beginning of the year. I love the Hegau volcanoes and was immediately taken with the idea of hiking six of them in one day. The volcano trail doesn't always lead over the summit, but you can deviate from the trail now and then.

August 6, 2022,Hegau-Vulkane: 7 auf einen Streich😋

I've had the Hegau volcanoes on my list for ages, but somehow it never worked out...

October 3, 2022,Querweg von Engen nach Singen

Today the route went from Engen to Singen. As ordered by Peter, golden October was announced! 🤗 However, the path was still soapy and slippery at times, which required great concentration with strong ups and downs in the meantime. Still a really cool route, as it goes over the volcanoes Hohenhewen, Hohenstoffel and Hohentwiel and there are also detours to …
