View of Plettenberg from Hoher Fels

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view. One could stay here for a while, rest or make Verser. But far and wide no bench or seating. That should definitely be changed.

January 23, 2022,Hausen am 🌲 - 🐑 berg - gespaltener Fels - Lochen 👌

Keeping a long story short. The ascent to the Schafberg is quite pleasant, as the many hairpin bends mean that it is not as steep as it first looked. The saying "The early bird catches the worm" is negligible on the Swabian Alb. He sees nothing from the beautiful views, at least in winter, except low-hanging clouds. Even without a …

June 27, 2021,Hausen am Tann: Panoramaschleife auf der Zollernalb

The first 1.75 kilometers up the mountain on nature trails in serpentines. At first a bit steep but then a manageable ascent.
Once at the top, always great views, great paths and a very beautiful landscape.
Ascent to the Lochenstein.
From up there you have fantastic views again.
After descending from the Lochenstein, you walk 3 kilometers on tarred roads …

One of my favorite tours. Subtle climb to the Schafberg. Beautiful hike along the eaves to the split rock - here 20 minutes. plan to climb around and linger!
The cleaved rock and the Plettenberg in a westerly direction to Schömberg (approx. 5km from Scafberg) are two more thousands that do not belong to the well-known tour of the 10-thousanders. …

Today I went out alone again. The starting point was the hiking car park at Lochen. The round led me over the split stone, the high rock and the Schafberg. Very beautiful. Great paths, fantastic views. There were a few hikers, alone or in small groups. All in a good mood. Some short conversations rounded off the beautiful tour and …

February 9, 2025,Lochenstein, geht immer, weil's so schön dort ist

In the car I was still moaning "everything is so brown, everything is so bare..." But the area around Lochenstein is always good, even if it is brown and bare 😉. Very nice, small circuit that you can extend as much as you like, totally varied with everything that makes the Alb so beautiful: rocks, juniper heath, small climbs, soft …

After two years, it was finally time to do this beautiful route again. Some of the paths were extremely icy, which made the route a little more challenging today 😅 the views were, are and will remain stunningly beautiful 🤩
