February 17, 2024,Märzenbecherblüte im Autal

An annual dream in white between Türkheim and Aufhausen. This year a particularly large number seem to be blooming at once. Or are there more overall? The mild temperatures also attract the fire salamanders outside, whether crawling in the leaves or swimming in the water.

Arrived home just in time before the rain. 🙂

May 1, 2022,Von Aufhausen nach Türkheim am Albtrauf entlang

Today we made a very nice and quiet tour along the Albtrauf. The morning dew was still glistening on the meadow when we started hiking in Aufhausen. The path led us over hill and dale at the Albtrauf ridge, past beautiful vantage points. Not much can be seen of the former castle ruins in Bühringen, but the view is fantastically …

After the gluttony😋 at the lentil festival in Reichenbach, a little round of digestion in the surrounding area was necessary🤗
Tuff rocks and Brunnensteig cave. The Autal waterfalls with little water and difficult to access due to fallen trees🙄
Back in time before the downpour.

Today we hiked a little further away from home. The Autal and the waterfalls are really beautiful and the steep climb is worth it.😊

July 11, 2021,Bad Überkingen Wasserfall 🌊, Aufhausen, Hart am Trauf und zurück 🌦️

After the heavy rains in the last few days, all the streams were very swollen, so that some of us had to run through the water. We finished the lap slightly wet, but it was worth it. We especially liked the lush green in connection with the water

Always an experience: March cups wherever you look. It is also worth hiking the big tour via Aufhausen and Türkheim. Great views and beautiful nature trails.
