Off to the stars - this seven-kilometer hike takes you to a "different observatory". The round is great for families, as there are hardly any vertical meters to be covered and the hike next to the great nature with an instructive highlight.

The observatory Kraichtal sternwarte-kraichtal.de has been built by a private citizen on his own with a lot of effort and visited for free. From there you have a wonderful view of the valley.

December 27, 2023,Kraichtal-Pfannwaldsee💦Hohlwege-Astronomiepark 💫und ein toller Abendhimmel 🚶‍♀️
Today I waited for the promised sun, but it didn't show up. I set off in the afternoon anyway and that was a good thing. Almost at the end of the tour, the long-awaited sun appeared and conjured up a wonderful evening sky. Couldn't get enough of it. When I got back to the car it was extremely dark.

A WONDERFUL HIKE, LOTS OF GREAT IMPRESSIONS - BUT ALSO STRENUOUS BECAUSE IT GOES UP AND DOWN IN THIS HILLY LANDSCAPE. THE GREEN TREE - A RESTAURANT IS ON THE WAY, WE DRANK COFFEE THERE.

A night hike with a special flair.
Set off at 10:25 as dusk began to fall and arrived back at the parking lot shortly before 12:00. Due to a moment of inattention, I missed a turn (it was pitch black) and ended up walking in a figure-eight pattern.

The parking lot at Pfannwaldsee with its approx. 30 parking spaces was quickly found and only occupied by 2 other vehicles.
We set off …

I've already been to this area in July, only then by bike 🚲 and since I've wanted to explore the area on foot for a long time, no sooner said than done. All alone I walked one or the other cave on relatively easy to walk paths. It was really nice and it will definitely not be the last time …

As a hiking guide who planned and led almost exactly this hike last year, I can only advise extreme caution, especially in the context of a family hike. The road between the sunken lanes is dangerous. There is no pedestrian path. It's also difficult to see around the bends. People drive very fast. It
