Hiking

This varied hike brings you from Eppingen on good 13 kilometers to the neighboring Sulzfeld. Right at the beginning you walk through the beautiful old town of Eppingens with its pretty half-timbered houses, cozy cafes and narrow streets.

You wander out of the village and reach the Jägersee after just under five kilometers. The perfect place for a first break. Continue on forest trails relaxed uphill. Again and again you have great views of the wide landscape of the Kraichgau. About half way you come to a lookout with a table over. Here you have reached the highest point of the tour and can take a break as a reward and taste your food.

Not far, then you can see the houses of Mühlbach. On a hot summer's day, a short detour to Mühlbacher See, a family-friendly bathing lake with children's playground and managed kiosk, is worthwhile.

The path leads you further through the vineyards and soon you can see the Ravensburg in the distance. In the castle you will find a beautiful castle garden and a cozy restaurant (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). From the tower of the castle you have a fantastic panoramic view of the hilly landscape of the Kraichgau.

From the castle it is only two kilometers to the train station in Sulzfeld. By train, you will be back in 15 minutes to Eppingen. Just hop in the S4 direction Heilbronn.

Jägersee, Eppingen

Highlight • Lake

The beautiful lake is used as a rain retention basin, for fishing and as a resting place. The Eppinger Waldfühlpfad begins in the northwest and is highly recommended. There is also a bird and nature trail around the lake.

You feel peace and relaxation when you sit down on the hill sofa. It is a perfect place for a break with breathtaking views of the Land of 1000 Hills.

You can reach it if, for example, you are on the way to the Schlettich quarry or hiking on the EP1. And the best thing is, you can even rotate and tilt the hill sofa 360°, just as you like!

June 10, 2023,Kraichgauwanderung🥾🚶‍♀️ bei 31°☀️: Ab Wanderparkplatz Ottilienberg - Ottilienberg🦎 - Eppinger🌳🌿🌱🦟🌲 Naturlehrpfad - Jägersee🐍🌊 - Mühlbach -Burg 🏛Ravensburg - Sulzfeld - Eppingen
Today I hiked in the Kraichgau, from the Ottilienberg hiking car park. Preparations for a wedding party were going on on the Ottilienberg, so I stuck with the insect house and the lizard cairn instead. Because of the humming of the insects and the bustle of the beautiful lizards, I could hardly get any further. But eventually it worked out …

22nd #movementhelps round / In total it is now 305 KM.

This morning at 6:30 a.m. I started my tour near Eppingen to Ottilienberg and Ravensburg in the dark. About two-thirds of the route went through the forest. The way back from Ravensburg, then across fields and meadows to the old town of Eppingen.
