Kahlenstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view over Bad Überkingen. If you go down the side of the Kahlenstein, you'll find an interesting cave, but surefootedness is required here. The descent is relatively steep. You can sometimes even spot climbers here.

Filstalgucker round at Geislingen an der Steige. Past fields and through forests. Nice round.

October 9, 2021,Vom Winde verweht 🌬☀️ auf dem Löwenpfad "Filstalgucker" - Der Burner: Lexie getroffen🥰😎❤️🍁🍂🍀☀️

On October 13th In 2020 I did the Lion Trail and actually wanted to do it again in the spring or summer, but that didn't work out, so it was my plan today. Initially still foggy and fresh we started in Türkheim, then over fields and fields, the wind increased more and more. Really autumnal🍁. Wonderful paths, for the first …

August 10, 2024,Löwenpfad 4/16 Filstalgucker. 🦁🔍

After I was in Budapest last weekend and walked countless kilometers there, today on my free weekend I wanted to do another Lion Trail. I chose number 4/16 and the Filstalgucker.
Unfortunately, the hike didn't really appeal to me, there weren't many highlights for my taste. Every bench with a "view" was overgrown, there was a lot of garbage everywhere …

Did the next lion path today, the Filstalgucker. The tour is halfway flat with always beautiful views. The route is varied, but also stretches in parts. But overall a nice round.

Gardening was the order of the day yesterday, so we packed our hiking things early today and set our sights on a lion path that we haven't walked yet. The conditions for this were great: top paths, almost not muddy and we were practically on our own until the afternoon. The Geiselsteinhaus is still open at the moment, so food …

Today we went to Geislingen an der Steige - the day had a lot to offer, especially the weather.
Starting at 6 °C and a few last grains of sleet, the sun even appeared a little on the way from the WP near the Ostlandkreuz to the Kahlenstein - with a view of Bad Überkingen and the Filstal. After a …

November 1, 2023,Indian Summer auf dem Löwenpfad Filstalgucker

A colorful and fragrant autumn hike high above the Filstalgucker: the Filstalgucker, one of the lion paths in the Göppingen district. The tour is a hit all year round, but in the fall it takes it up a notch.

Along the Albtrauf you have a great view over the Filstal, the Rohrachtal and Geislingen. The slopes shine in red, yellow …

For those who travel by train in an environmentally friendly way, we recommend climbing from Geislingen Steige train station through the old town up the old Türkheimer Steige.
