The Schwarze Lauter is the left source of the Lenninger Lauter. It rises in Schlattstall from the Lauterquelle and the Goldloch. Near Lenningen it joins the Weiße Lauter to form the Lauter.

Hello,
today I did a stolen tour 😉.

I parked at the Heidengraben/Böhringer Straße car park near Grabenstetten. From there I went first to
➖ Schreckenfels, then on an unmarked path in the forest to
➖ Erdtal, further to
➖ Grosser Schrecke, after descending from there along the valley towards Schlattstall and just before the town up the forest path …

The section between Rabenfelsenhangweg and Wander-P is not recommended. It goes steeply up - without a path - over rocks. Criss-crossing trees also have to be climbed over before you finally reach the ladder.

Again Schlattstall, but this time it went over the Great Terror up to the ruins of Hofen. First, however, first past the gold hole. Since we now had waterproof shoes on in winter, we took the opportunity to get to the bottom of the origin of the water flowing out of the hole and dived into the darkness. You can …

September 9, 2023,Ruine Hofen – Große Schrecke Runde 09.09.2023

Once again a very nice round on which you can enjoy nature to the fullest. A little "climbing art" is also part of it, otherwise you cannot visit the Schlattstall cave ruins. On the whole round there are always wonderful views and on the second half there are also many opportunities to take a break. The ascent back from the …
