Hiking

This nearly 13-kilometer hike takes you along the Old Shepherd's Path through a side valley of the Danube. Several springs and fountains are bubbling in the area, which makes the otherwise barren landscape wonderfully fertile. In the past, the shepherds used the springs as a drinking stop for their flocks…

November 6, 2022,Alter Schäferweg – Wandern auf den DonauWellen

When I dived into the fog towards the Danube valley this morning, I had doubts about the plan to walk the PWW Alter Schäferweg today. But they were unfounded, because the fog soon cleared and I was able to hike through the woods and over the juniper heaths in the sunshine.
The Alter Schäferweg is not the most spectacular path …

Very nice round with great paths and a fantastic view from the old mountain over the entire Alpine chain.
Unfortunately a bit cloudy today.
Sometimes there are also steep ascents and descents.
I would not recommend the tour if it is wet.
Otherwise an absolutely recommendable round. 👍👍👍

We have done this route many times before. And we have noticed again: You ALWAYS forget the many meters of altitude. And overall it is simply one of the most beautiful routes we have done. Varied, challenging, versatile, with great views and peppered with sights. And on the high Alb and with the deep valleys it is always very pleasant, …

July 29, 2024,Alter Schäferweg (Donauwelle) - Tour ab P Lippachmühle, Mahlstetten 29.07.24

Drive to Mahlstetten Lippachmühle by car. From the WP we walked the "Alten Schäferweg", a hiking trail of the Donauwellen.

Wonderful weather, with a light breeze on open ground made the 27/28 degrees bearable.

My personal highlight was the beautiful "mourning cloak", of which I was able to admire two examples,

September 1, 2021,DonauWelle: Alter Schäferweg - Tour ab P am Hirsch-Erlebniswald Mahlstetten 01.09.21

Nice round through mostly deciduous forests, a great view from the old mountain and 2 steep climbs.
Also very impressive is the natural monument, the "Allenspacher Hof Linde" from 1450, which is considered the oldest and strongest tree in the Tuttlingen district.
The stony descents in particular had to be taken with caution today, due to the previous rain.

March 5, 2022,Kalt und knackig: Alter Schäferweg Anfang März

That's an ugly hike... 😜

We're just saying that we have such a nice rest like today, with 2 degrees in the sun. At the beginning of March. 🙄
Pure sun and hardly anyone out and about.😎

But to be honest, we've gotten around... and today we occasionally had the feeling that we were experiencing the most beautiful hike in …

July 10, 2022,Im Reich der Schmetterlinge - Alter Schäferweg im Juli

We promised we'll be back. And here we are. Earlier than expected. And still second gear: It's one of the most beautiful laps we know. It could hardly be more varied. Even if it cannot come up with any outstanding sights in the true sense. And he's just wonderfully demanding. And halfway there is a restaurant that is worth a …
