September 15, 2024,Burg Hohenhewen🏰

Engen's local mountain, the Hohenhewen, is 846 m above sea level and is a phonolite cone. Around 1170, the Lords of Engen built a mighty castle, then called themselves Lords of Hewen and ruled the region for almost 400 years.

Family tour around the Hohenhewen. Despite the side, it was nice to walk and also had a special atmosphere.

After I was at the Hohenstoffeln yesterday, I decided today to pay a visit to his neighbor's Hohenhewen. I used the premium hiking trail "Hewensteig" as a template, which I changed a bit on the way back from the summit. The Almenhütte hiking car park above Anselfingen is the official starting point of the tour. First, the path at the …

At the end of the year with a small but nice round one of my favorite mountains in the Hegau, which Hohenhewen visits in the best weather.
Conclusion; a great year of hiking with many beautiful tours and countless sights comes to an end. I wish all Komootlers a Happy New Year and a great start into the New Year.

The route of the Hewensteig is quickly explained. On one side, a path leads up through the wooded slopes of the extinct volcano, culminating in the treeless crest of the mountain with its ruins and pretty lookout tower offering a 360-degree view of the Hegau landscape. On the other side of the mountain, the path first leads through the forest, …

Short but very nice round on and around the Hohenhewen. This round differs from the premium trail mainly through the beautiful, narrow forest path on the way to the ruin.
Almost the entire tour took place in fog, from a certain height there was blue sky and sunshine.
An obligatory course could not be missing in this round either.
