I saw the idea of the tour at @Annerose. Thank you for this.
Then I extended the tour a little bit.

August 13, 2022,Burgen und Ruinen Tour im Großen Lautertal

Today on foot in the Great Lautertal and initially surprised by the many people and full parking spaces everywhere. Well, I'm usually in this area during the week for biking.
Unfortunately, Derneck Castle is too early on our route, so we won't stop there today.
The way to the vantage point Bürzel is very nice on the last 500m, much …

May 28, 2022,Burg Derneck und Burg Hohengundelfingen🥾

Best hiking weather at 14 degrees 🌤, instead of Allgäu back to the Alb. This time to Lautertal, which I only know from 🏍. We started at the Burg Hohengundelfingen hiking car park. But we saved the castle for the end. Then it first went downhill to the Grosse Lauter, through Bichishausen and then towards Gundelfingen. Nice little villages. And …

October 6, 2024,Lautertal Bichishausen - Burg Hohengundelfingen / Darneck Burg

We're on the Alb again. We expected a lot more cyclists and hikers in the Lautertal... so it was a quiet, beautiful tour. The Hohengrundelfingen castle is impressive, it's definitely worth climbing up and enjoying the view. It's easy to imagine how the nobles used to be able to enjoy the beautiful view from their front garden.

May 21, 2023,unterwegs im schönen Lautertal 🔁 Bichishausen

From Bichishausen I hiked along the Lauter, up to the Hohengundelfingen ruins with a great view of the beautiful Lautertal.
Continue to Derneck Castle, which is managed.
Over lush green and blooming meadows and gnarled paths back down through shady forests back along the Lauter to the starting point.
In itself a great tour, you rarely have silence 🏍️ and …
