October 12, 2023,Traufgang Schlossfelsenpfad Albstadt🤩
Today we walked the castle rock path again 🤩 you can still clearly see the traces of the storm, but the paths have now been cleared again 👍🏻☺️
Two-thirds of the way there was an uneasy feeling in the air 😁opposite the Heuberg military training area, the entire hike was accompanied by the sounds of gunfire and tank noises today. …

April 3, 2022,03.04.2022 Traufgang Schlossfelsenpfad
On Sunday I did a wintry, snowy tour of the Alb on the Schlossfelsenpfad.

The start was at the Waldheim Albstadt parking lot.
The well-signposted tour first runs through juniper heaths and forest sections to the Fohlenhof, where, in addition to a refreshment stop, many young calves and lambs can be seen at this time of year.
Soon after, the …

July 9, 2021,Traufgang: Schlossfelsenpfad in Albstadt - Tour ab WP am Waldheim 09.07.21
Tour through beautiful juniper heaths, beautiful forests and a few beautiful views of Albstadt (Ebingen). During the round you are a certain distance on the "Traufgang-Wachholderhöhe" and the "Traufgängerle-Hexenküche".
At the end of the tour, the Waldheim offers a nice beer garden for a stop.
All in all, a great experience in beautiful hiking weather.

August 5, 2024,Unser 3. Traufgang -Schlossfelsenpfad in Albstadt
The car park at the Waldheim is a good starting point for today's hike.
Varied, typical Albtrauf tour on well-marked paths, through the forest, across open spaces and over the typical juniper heaths with their colorful, lean grassland meadows that are currently in beautiful bloom.
The last third of the tour is dominated by sparse beech forest, wonderful views from …

June 10, 2023,Schwäbische Alb - Traufgang Schlossfelsenpfad in Albstadt
Unfortunately, I can only recommend this walk to a limited extent. 😳
The first 10 kilometers are easy hiking highways through forest and meadows. Maybe I'm spoiled, but that was a bit bland.
The last 5 kilometers on the Albtrauf were nice to walk and there were viewpoints. 😊
The fact that it basically starts and ends in the beer …

I spontaneously decided to hike on the Alb, as the weather was good. The Traufgang Schlossfelsenpfad is a real premium hiking trail! Very relaxed, with few steep inclines and often on meadows and hiking trails. A really enjoyable hike on this trail with nature awakening... (pictures). OUR LAND WITH ITS SPLENDOR...
At half-time there was a Munich Hell from old …

Castle rock path made from the eaves.
Started early and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
The starting point was the special stage at Stählernes Männle.
From there we went on the tour towards Fohlenweide.
If you start here, you have all the beautiful viewpoints in the long middle section.
At the castle rock I took the path via the witch's …

June 22, 2025,Traufgang "Schlossfelsenpfad" + Traufgängerle "Hexenküche"
Juniper heaths, blooming meadows, forests, and vistas provide variety along the Schlossfelsenpfad (Castle Rock Trail). The loop could also be shortened—we walked the entire route, and because it was so beautiful, we added the "Traufgängerle" (Traw Gantries) for an additional 4 kilometers. A good decision—the Hexenküchen (Hexen's Kitchen Trail) led us past impressive (climbing) rocks. The botanical highlight today was …
