A very beautiful cave that can be visited without a guide. Several smaller side paths give you a sense of discovery, rather than being rushed through. Sturdy footwear is recommended …

Ridge Trail to Wackerstein

Highlight • Trail

Here, the hiking trail leads up over the rock to the Wackerstein. The rock formations to the left and right of the path and on the Wackerstein itself are very charming – an outstanding vantage point.

June 6, 2022,Runde ab Parkplatz Ruoffseck über Wackerstein , Schönbergturm ( Onderhos ) und Nebelhöhle

Very nice, most of the time guided tour through shady forest with the possibility to grill red sausages purchased there at the Schönbuchturm. Or, of course, continue to stop at the Maultaschenwirt at the Nebelhöhle. The annual Nebelhöhle Festival takes place over the 3 days of Pentecost weekend. Accordingly, hikers from all directions have been on their way here.

Before the weather changes tomorrow, we decided to do another tour in the Reutlingen district today.
We started at the Ruoffseck hiking car park. There are also bus stops for public transport here.
The first goal was the Wackenstein. From here you have a wonderful view towards Genkingen as well as in the direction of Reutlingen. However, a strong wind …

June 7, 2025,Hochgehtürmt-Hochgehberge auf der Schwäbischen Alb

Our Whitsun trip to the Swabian Alb.
Stormy, wet, and beautiful🥰.
We started at the Nebelhöhle, where a large fairground is set up until Monday. Carousel, cotton candy, and a marquee... a real spectacle. We spent most of our time on the Hochgehtürmt premium hiking trail, but we cut it short after the Schloßbergturm because of the weather. At the …

A beautiful hike almost entirely in the forest, sometimes up, sometimes down. Mainly on hiking trails, also over hill and dale, so sturdy shoes are recommended. You will find the hike description in the last photos, unfortunately in reverse order. The hike is well signposted, sometimes the signposts are just after a crossroads.

July 12, 2021,Wackerstein – Schönbergturm- Nebelhöhle

This tour is so fun and interesting. In any case, it is one of the nicest ones I've run.
The Schönberg tower was open and the all-round view! A dream!!
The fog cave immersed me in another world. Very nicely prepared. Entrance fee: 5 euros in any case, worth it.

October 27, 2024,Herbstliche Wanderung

A wonderful day in autumn 🍂 from Rouffs Eck without climbing the Alb, a pleasant walk with lots of sun and nice people. It was wonderfully sunny on the Onderhos ☀️.

We have it so nice here.

July 1, 2023,Pfullingen-Schönbergturm-Wackerstein

A 3 km long one-way street leads from Pfullingen to the car park at the Wanne.
Started from there and then walked almost the entire tour on natural paths.
Except for a few kilometers, the route runs completely in the forest. Thus quite suitable for a summer tour.

On the way to the birthday party, I did another lap to earn the cake. :o)
P.S. GPS had the day off. The pace was nowhere near as fast!
