A circular hike from Neidlingen through the orchards to Hepsisau, through the wild Zipfelbachtal up to the Alb and back down into the Neidlingertal. The way through the Zipfelbachtal is a bit muddy at the moment but easy to do.

The best conditions for hiking, when entering the serpentine upwards it did start to rain.
Despite the rain, the paths were relatively easy to walk.
When descending the Zipfelbach I was worried that it would be muddy, but it was okay.
