June 16, 2022,Pappenheim - Schlaufenweg 8

I have to praise this loop to the heavens today. The hiking trail was a lot of fun and joy for us. Here, nature and culture come together in a very small space. It feels like we are circling the castle on three mountains. We enjoy prospects, visions and insights....
Although the loop 8 looks a bit unsorted at first …

After seeing the tour with Uschi on the way last week, and today I was due to visit the Friedwald, I took the fantastic weather as an opportunity to do the tour.
And it was worth it. I skipped the castle because I inspected it extensively last May.
After I had deviated from the planned route somewhere, Komoot said goodbye …

They really exist - the famous Pappenheimers! Many people have now forgotten that their loyalty, bravery and reliability during the 30 Years' War still has an impact throughout the world today thanks to Friedrich Schiller's quote "That's how I recognize my Pappenheimers."

Many thanks to Uschi for the inspiration for this wonderful circular hike along the surrounding hills of Pappenheim!

With the best autumn weather, we often went loop by loop through the forest around Pappenheim. You can stop off at the Gasthaus zum Grünen Baum or at the Hotel Gasthof Zur Sonne.

Unfortunately it's still quite wintery at the moment. That's why I didn't take a lot of photos. Nevertheless: The Altmühltal Loop Trail No. 8 is one of my favorite loop trails. In two weeks, when spring is further advanced, I might run the nice little loop again. Then I'll definitely take more pictures. 🙂

Today I traveled by train to Pappenheim in the Altmühltal and did the "Schlaufe 8 um Pappenheim" (Route No. 8) hike there. It leads around and through Pappenheim.

Castle view meets nature: The circular trail combines impressive views, nature experiences, and insights into Pappenheim's history. From the Pappenheim vineyard, a magnificent view opens up over the city, while varied sunny …

Sunday afternoon round in Pappenheim ... that was on the agenda for a long time. Most of the route takes you via Schlaufenweg 8. Only at the end did we turn right into town because the daughter wanted ice cream, which she then didn't get because there wasn't an ice cream parlor...

Route 8 is quite good.

In town, you have to be careful not to miss the route signs.
