„Ave-Weg“: Ein Hauch Wallfahrt am Albtrauf – Löwenpfade um Göppingen

With the lion path "Ave-Weg" you embark on a spiritual journey with a touch of pilgrimage on the Albtrauf. In order for you to have enough peace and quiet, the round tour is only a good eight kilometers long. A few meters in altitude are still waiting for you to spoil you with the finest views of the Upper Filstal.

Right at the beginning of the tour, you can explore the Ave Maria pilgrimage church from the German late baroque period. Your showpiece is the high altar in the center of the church. If you have looked around here enough, it goes over the Franziskuspfad up to the Alb plateau and the first impressive view from the Kilian's Cross.

The next ascent is gentler and takes you to almost 770 meters, the highest point of the circular hike. You leisurely stroll downhill to the modest Buschelkapelle. At the height of the Oberberg you descend more steeply and have a great view of Bad Ditzenbach and Deggingen.

Shortly before the end of the spiritual round you arrive at the fabulous Ave source. It is said that there were once many small spring pots here, only one of which is said to have promised a cure. A shiny lion, who is said to have appeared here to the sick, is said to have helped in choosing the right pot.
