A scenic tour along the Höhenrandweg trail along Waldenburg's old town, with views of the Hohenlohe Plain.

It's absolutely worth climbing the Lachnersturm tower in Waldenburg. The key is available at the town hall.

The Panofit course evokes memories of the recently deceased biathlete Laura Dahlmeier. Her portrait can be seen on some signs (sniff...).

Hello
Today we were in Waldenburg, I recently saw the pictures of Heidi who recently walked there.
Everything is beautiful there, beautiful paths, beautiful views and a nice old town.
The little cafe has a wonderful viewing terrace.
So it's ideal for a short trip with a longer walk.
