Hödinger Gorge Trail

Highlight • Gorge

A stunning gorge path, carved deep into the molasse rock – it gets quite dark when you walk along it. 🤩🤩👍

Directly on the outskirts of Hödingen is this viewing platform with the red benches. Fantastic view down to the lake!

From the lookout point Torkelbühl below the village Hödingen, which is visible from afar by an impressive linden, one can enjoy on clear days one of the most beautiful views over Lake Constance to the Alps.

Just beautiful. Hard to capture with the camera. So plan plenty of time and absorb it with your own senses.

Spetzgart Castle

Highlight • Castle

At the site where Spetzgart Castle now stands, there was a Staufer castle built around 1200. In 1503, the ruined castle was rebuilt and the palace built. During the Thirty Years' War, it was destroyed again by Swedish troops in 1634 and by French troops in 1643. It was rebuilt in its current form in 1671 under Abbot Konrad Kneer of Obermarchtal. Between 1747 and 1749, the property was given a baroque makeover. Today, the palace belongs to the Salem School and is not open to the public.

September 13, 2024,Weitergehen I - Hödinger Runde
My strength is slowly returning. After an unpleasant medical diagnosis, weeks in hospital with strenuous therapy and the subsequent convalescence period, I am trying to reconnect with my source of strength, hiking.
I don't know where my health journey will take me. But I know one thing for sure: every step outside in nature gives my body new strength, my …

We are spending this weekend with our motorhome on the parking space in Überlingen.
From there we were able to start a wonderful, very promising tour.
First the path leads past the spacious P+R parking spaces into the Spetzgarter Tobel.
Once through the wonderful ravine you come to Spetzgart Castle on the other side, which houses part of the Salem …

You can park in the parking lot from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. for 50 cents per hour. The day ticket costs €3.50 and is then also valid as a bus ticket.
The circular route was very beautiful and …

Round trip close to home in mixed weather.
Great views of the Überlinger See, the Schluchtweg near Goldbach, the Überlinger Stadtgarten, the Spetzgarter Tobel were definitely worth doing this beautiful tour.

By bus to ÜB and back. Start and end of the round at the bus station. Along the moat we went to the lake and up to Leopold Ziegler Weg with a beautiful view. The path led uphill through the Spetzgarter Tobel to Hödingen, to the Fidelishöhe, Gletschermühle and through the Goldbach Gorge Trail back to the starting point. I've …
