Trail Along the Young Fils River

Highlight • Trail

Easy-to-walk path along the Fils

Young Fils

Highlight (Segment) • River

Very nicely guided footpath along the young Fils, which initially meanders rather lazily through a relatively wide valley before flowing down as a rushing stream over stone cascades to the paper mill.
Very worth seeing - but also very busy. In bad weather, the path is very muddy in parts.

Highlight • River

Super nice spot, nice for a picnic. There is a meadow right by the creek and a gravel path for hiking and walking.

View of the Neidlinger Valley from the Albtrauf

Highlight • Viewpoint

With the Reussenstein ruins in the foreground, it's a very beautiful picture. And when it's quiet, you can hear the rushing of the river in the valley from above.

Paragliding Launch Site With View of Neidlingen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Along the Albtrauf it is almost inevitable to find places with great views. But the sometimes abrupt gradients can also be used differently. For example, paragliding. Here you can look at the weather, how to do it.
