Breitenstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Breitenstein is a white Jura rock outcrop on the Albtrauf. It is a natural monument and protected geotope. In addition to the great view, the climb through the Eichhalde is also a beautiful experience.

Rauber Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Rauber ruins are exactly how you would imagine a castle ruin to be: somewhat hidden in the forest, already half reclaimed by nature, but still enough masonry visible to get an idea of what the castle once was like. Access is via a wooden bridge. So if you can't imagine yourself back in the days of the robber barons... ;)

Teck Castle

Highlight • Castle

The summit castle Teck is located at 773 meters on the Albtrauf in the Swabian Alb. The Swabian Alb Association runs a restaurant and hostel here. A great place for a break on the mountain bike tour, even if the approach is very steep. You can find information about the castle and the offer up there: burg-teck-alb.de/burg-teck.

The Hörnle offers a dream view of the Kaiserberge, Limburg, Bissingen and the Breitenstein. Three maple trees, a limestone boulder and the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument pull the saddle of the Hörnle.

The perfect day to start!

The 17th edition of the legendary Bissinger Burgenlauf. A rock-hard trail route with 25km and a whopping 1,000hm. Dream paths with great views from Bissingen to Weilheim up to the Limburg, then to Hepsisau and the romantic Zipfelbachtal up to the Mörikefelsen, over the Auchtert to the Breitenstein and on to the Dipoldsburg. Via the ruins of Rauber to the …

Back on the trail! Like almost every year, we went to the Bissinger Castle Run, a running mob event for trail enthusiasts! As always, the weather cooperated, the paths were dry and it was pleasantly warm with some sun. Via the Limburg, the Zipfelbachtal, the Mörickefels and the Auchtert it goes to the Breitenstein. Then over the Rauber ruins and …

The Burgenlauf 2021 - a wonderful trail run on the Albtrauf paths. Traditionally the start is in Bissingen, then across the fields to Limburg, the first steep ascent. Down to the saddle and following a path over the Hepsisau orchards to VP1 at the beginning of the Zipfelbachtal. Up the idyllic Zipfelbachtal and on over the Mörikefels to Auchtert and …

I wrote you such a lovely comment. Thanks to Komoot, everything is gone and not saved. I'm sorry, but I won't do it again today. So: SHORT AND SWEET! In contrast to our tour, which was LONG and SWEET.

Up to Teck Castle -> Brilliant view above the fog with sunshine and luckily two of Philipp's water bottles in our …
