As a change from always just the Black Forest, we hiked a bit zig zag on the Alb.

From the Heimberg hikers' car park, the path leads to the Tribfelsen along the eaves and then in the direction of Gräbelesberg with a great view. There are other beautiful views, e.g. on the Baienberg and Spitzfelsen with a beautiful view of the Bära valley. Passing the "Hossinger Leiter" it then goes up to the Kübelhansfels and back to the …

October 3, 2023,Hossingen - HochAlbPfad: Hossinger Hochalb 📷🐐⛰🐎

Today we went to Hossingen. There we tackled the premium hiking trail “Hochalbpfad Hossinger Hochalb”.
It was very quiet on the paths. The hikers we met were very talkative. The total time was therefore extended quite a bit😊.
We started on the hiking trail 🅿 Heimberg. First we went north. There was one highlight after another along the path (Triebfelsen …

A very nice tour around Hossingen at an ideal hiking temperature. When we started in the morning we had the first autumn fog and therefore no view of the valley. The fog soon disappeared, a light drizzle set in for a short time but then the sun came out 🌞😊. An ideal day with Rainer and Johann, it was beautiful …

Hello dear like-minded people!
the weather forecast was that the sun was shining on the mountains! 😎 So I dared today and went to the Hossinger Alb to do the HochAlbPfad there. After more than an hour of driving, I thought that was probably not a good idea, as nothing was to be seen all around, everything in the high …
