Eppenzillfelsen Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a beautiful view through the Maisental, to the castle ruins of Hohen Urach and the Ermstal, diagonally opposite you have a view of the impressive wall of the slide rock. A comfortable "couch" invites you to enjoy.

Rutschenfelsen Plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

As a nature lover, you cannot escape the magic of the plateau between the rocky slides and the Rutschenbächle, the "enchanted" spring in the small rock endoline. While the grassland with its small, half-timbered shelter rests peacefully, it becomes spectacular on the edge. The abyss awaits in the north, with a view of the imposing stone needles of the rock slide, in the south the said source with the shortest course of the Alb. A few hundred meters further to the east, the rocky path down to the waterfalls takes your breath away. Reason enough to pause here, to let the calm have its effect on you, before you continue hiking - ready for something new.

Rutschenfelsen Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A fantastic view of the Hoher Urach and the Ermstal valley, with Hoher Neuffen visible on the horizon to the left of the Hoher Urach. Anyone looking for a nice place to rest and take a breather would be well advised to plan this spot (Rutschenfelsen) into their route so that they arrive here at break time.
