Panoramic round tour over the Hahnenkamm with ruins and bathing opportunities.
We parked in the hiking car park, but you can also park at the lake. The parking lot at the lake is chargeable. Unfortunately I don't have any more information about the parking machines at the lake.

Great circular route around Hechlingen am See with the highlights Hahnenkammsee, Schlossberg, ruins of Katharinenkapelle and Hechlinger Hohlweg. In the shady beech forest it rustled badly while running, almost an autumn feeling 😬

February 5, 2022,Hechlingen am See - Rundweg Nr. 20

A varied round with natural and cultural history, but also tourist highlights. I started at the Hotel Forellenhof hiking car park. The Hahnenkammsee has a lot to offer, especially for camping tourists. Hiking trails, bathing and boating fun, the whole usual program from children's playground to Kneipp facility. Now in winter you can venture out on the "Promenadenweg" around the …

You can park at the northern end of the lake and in winter the parking ticket machines are also removed here. The round itself …
