Great view over Bad Überkingen. If you go down the side of the Kahlenstein, you'll find an interesting cave, but surefootedness is required here. The descent is relatively steep. You can sometimes even spot climbers here.

Moss-Covered Tufa Rocks and Springs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The tufa sinter terraces are almost completely covered with moss. The water drips off at the front and then flows under the path down the valley.

February 19, 2025,Kahlenstein und Autal 🥶🥶🥶☀️

spontaneous standard get-together to enjoy the last frosty temperatures 🥶
It's hard to believe that in 2 weeks at the latest everything here will be white from the snowdrops 💮.
At least today it's freezing cold again and there are a surprising number of pretty ice sculptures 👌🏻

Sturdy shoes and poles are recommended in autumn. The route can be slippery in places when wet and covered in leaves. We did it without poles, however.

With the opportunity to have a drink.

I just had to go out again today.
The path along the eaves from Aufhausen to the Kahlenstein is just beautiful. Although the trees are already full of leaves, there are always great views. And on the Kahlenstein you can enjoy a break with all your senses. The way back was less spectacular halfway up in the forest. Unfortunately, the …

After the wonderful group hike yesterday, Ömchen and Öpchen offered us another hike from Türkheim because they stayed the night there.
