Schönbuch Tower

Highlight • Monument

Despite Corona, this extraordinary observation tower is open for inspection. A staircase leads up and down through the shape of a double helix, which are then signposted for one-way traffic. With the car park just 400 meters away, the tower is very popular.

Krebsbach Ford

Highlight • River

A small stone bridge serves as a crossing over the Krebsbach stream. There are also good opportunities nearby to descend directly to the small forest stream.

Krebsbach Floodplain Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

A nature-oriented hiking trail runs more or less directly along the Krebsbach stream. Several smaller trails lead directly to the stream and offer beautiful views of the small, meandering stream.

Halbtrockenrasen Kreutäcker Nature Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

It reminds me a lot of the Swabian Jura. However, the juniper bushes are kept within limits. Not enough to make gin, but definitely good for sauerkraut.

May 20, 2024,Abenteuerlich schmaler Pfad – Schönbuchturm Runde von Ehningen
The tour posted here is a really beautiful tour that is recommended away from the large tourist crowds and does not start at the completely overcrowded Schönbuchturm but north of Hildrizhausen in a somewhat hidden car park (note: there is no sign for the car park) about 300 - 400 m off the L 1000.
The path to the Rohrau …

The tour begins at the hiking car park in Gärtringen. You can also spend the night in a van here. The route is currently very wet and muddy.

Wonderful, very varied round with the perfect length if you only start at noon. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play along so that we were showered quite a bit one or the other time.

A number of paths/paths around the Nature Friends House are closed due to felling work (02.2024)!

Today for the first time from the Naturfreunde Haus to Rohrau and back via the Waldschenke Rohrau and Kalter Bronne. Have to say it's worth it. There are many beautiful forest paths 🤩 therefore so many pictures of them. I didn't know the Waldschenke Rohrau either. Great playground, so also ideal for families. Now cozy coffee ☕️ and cake 🎂 …

The plan, er, hike, began 😂.
That wasn't quite the case. Our only goal in Herrenberg was the Schönbuchturm.
We parked in the morning in the huge hiking parking lot next to the Naturfreundehaus Herrenberg. There's another parking space across the street at the Waldfriedhof cemetery. After a few minutes, you reach the Schönbuchturm. There are two ways to get …
