Former Hirschental Ski Lift

Highlight • Structure

The lift house is in good condition. Opposite is the relatively steep ski slope of Altheim/Alb. Before climate change, you could do winter sports here. There is also a large parking lot for hikers.

April 8, 2024,Hungerbrunnen-Rundweg durch die Heide bei Altheim/Alb 🌿🤍

Went for a short walk about 30 minutes from home. I was very happy to have seen my first pasqueflower and we actually saw a rare black woodpecker. The path wasn't difficult and there wasn't much to see, but it was still nice in the fresh air. Next we're going hiking to Liechtenstein 🙏🤍

That was a super nice round today 👍😇 Small, but sooooo many impressions ‼️
Lots of mushrooms, of course, but also many flowering plants on the juniper heath.
My current favorite was the field wreath gentian. I only discovered this single, but large "tuft".... A blaze of color and at the same time so delicate and filigree....
I'll definitely run …

An enlarged dog walk in the Lone Valley. Quiet corner for running. And at the " Grenzblick" car park there is a beautiful viewing area with benches, above the Hungerbrunnen.
