May 26, 2024,🦁 Löwenpfade: Spielburg-Runde - Rund um den Hohenstaufen

A short and snappy tour that offers wonderful views of the Kaiser Mountains and the surrounding area of Göppingen. About half of the route is on asphalt, but that doesn't bother you. Very well signposted with the distinctive Löwenpfade logo.

Starting point: car park on Ottenbacher Straße, Hohenstaufen

...and since you're already nearby, you can quickly move over by car and add the Spielberg circuit to your run. It's not really that great and I'm glad I didn't drive all the way from home.
