Jägersee, Eppingen

Highlight • Lake

The beautiful lake is used as a rain retention basin, for fishing and as a resting place. The Eppinger Waldfühlpfad begins in the northwest and is highly recommended. There is also a bird and nature trail around the lake.

Perfect weather for a beautiful hike, mainly through sparse deciduous forest. There are tough climbs and a long staircase (Stairway to Heaven), but the paths are easy to walk and everything is well signposted.

A tour that is definitely fun to run even in summer, as it is mostly located in the forest.
Today the paths were partly very muddy after the last few days of rain, but otherwise quite easy to walk on.
If you want to walk up the 202 steps of the ladder to heaven, you have to reverse the tour …

February 4, 2024,EP2 - Rund um den Ottilienberg (mittlere Runde)

A short walk to Ottilienberg via the 202 steps of the ladder to heaven. Stop at the DAV hut near the Ottilienberg chapel. There was delicious cake and hot coffee ☕️ and good entertainment. We continued over the Jägersee back to Eppingen. The paths were okay, only the wind outside the forest was pretty disgusting.

Parked at the Kraichgau Stadium and from there always following the "EP 2" markings via the Himmelsleiter to the Ottilienberg, where we were lucky and the chapel's observation tower was open.
Then back down to the Jägersee, where we took a little rest on a sunny bench.
Finally through a tranquil cultural landscape - …
