The hike is very varied with beautiful viewpoints of the castles in the area. The paths were rarely muddy, otherwise it was easy to hike with good shoes.

The weather forecast had actually predicted fog in the valleys and sunshine at higher altitudes. But things turned out very differently in this part of the Alb: Sunshine up to the car park in Erkenbrechtsweiler! After that, only ground fog of varying intensity. But nevertheless: First, you go along beautiful forest paths over the Bassgeige to the Beurener Fels. View: …

Kicking off the weekend hike with @🇺🇦Schlofwandler🕊️ @BH 3000 and many other people in the Swabian Alb. My first "high mountain" hike. It was so beautiful. The abundance of blooming wild garlic in the forest is magical.

Indian Summer in the Swabian Alb 🍂
Autumn traditionally means family time with @WDB and Renate, who then come to the Stuttgart region for sightseeing.
Since we've spent more time in the vineyards and at Solitude Castle in recent years, it was now time to say hello to the Alb, and Bassgeige was the closest thing to the Filder region. …

Made a training lap today for tomorrow's tour. It was exactly the right thing to do. The Bassgeige car park is in front of Erkenbrechtsweiler. With a few detours it goes from there to the Beurener Fels with a beautiful view. To make it a little strenuous, it goes down into the valley and back up to the Brucker Fels. …
