May 9, 2024,❝ 𝐇𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐭ü𝐫𝐦𝐭 ❞ Premiumwanderweg Pfullingen

Today we went to the Swabian Alb, specifically to Pfullingen, a small town near Reutlingen.
I had planned two tours - the "Pfullinger Sagenweg" and the premium hiking trail "Hochgehtürmt".
As the Sagenweg is only about 4km long, I didn't want to record it separately and added the pictures of the wooden carved legendary figures to the "main tour".
Unfortunately, …

May 7, 2023,Pfullingen Schönbergturm - Wackerstein 🌳🧭

On the way on well-known paths, we started today's tour from the Ahlsberg hiking car park in Pfullingen to walk straight up to the Schönberg Tower. Nice idyllic paths on the Alb plateau and then along the eaves run here to the Pfullinger Unterhos. The view from up there is beautiful, but the black clouds were already getting closer. So …

January 10, 2026,»hochgehtürmt« – HOCHGEHBERGE auf der Schwäbischen Alb

After my plans for Kirchheim am Teck were somewhat disrupted by the train, I switched to the Pfullingen Pleasure Trail. My original starting point was Jahnstraße, but I just missed it, so I started at the Ahlsteig. I headed towards the starting point and then followed the very well-marked trail uphill. The snow made it a beautiful wintery path to …

Today we went to Pfullingen at cool 0 degrees.... the Pfullinger Onderhus, the Schönbergturm should be included in our hike. As always, Hochgehberge premium hiking trails are well signposted. Sturdy shoes and hiking poles were quite helpful on this tour, which sometimes took us on single trails with loose underground led. We were rewarded with a beautiful view on the …

That's an extraordinary tower on the Schönberg, it's 26 m high and there's a staircase at each foot. From the top you have a great view over Pfullingen in the area.

The tour is very varied with beautiful paths, you will pass rocks and great vantage points.

Great tour, because you don't walk a single meter on asphalt but on beautiful forest and sometimes also on meadow paths.
Since 90% of the tour takes place in the forest, it is ideal for warmer days.
