May 12, 2023,Rauf und runter bei Bickensohl ☀️🐾(Kaiserstuhl)
Weather forecast.. well.. we were so lucky and got a window with lots of sunshine. Lössgassen, lots of panorama and actually I had the feeling that we were constantly walking up and down. I've walked here many times, you always discover so much.. but the highlight today was the green lizard, which I've never seen before..discovered by accident while tying …

Today there are again fantastic vineyard pictures from the Kaiserstuhl. I really wanted to go here and it's really worth it. The landscape is even different than, for example, in the Orthenau vineyards. The terraced fields are very fascinating and make great motifs. Sorry for the large number of wine photos 😂. The chosen - short but quite easy tour …

Not suitable for prams! Surefootedness and good physical condition required

Interesting and varied themed hiking trail in the Kaiserstuhl: vineyards, forest paths, loess hollow paths with caves, information boards along the way and again and again wonderful views towards the Vosges. When you have found the entrance to the path, it is well signposted.

Über das verlängerte Wochenende habe ich Besuch, die den Kaiserstuhl nicht kennen. Heute sind sie angereist und ich will ihnen am Nachmittag ein Stück meiner Heimat – den Kaiserstuhl – zeigen.

Rund um Bickensohl gruppieren sich einige der eindrucksvollsten Lösshohlwege des Kaiserstuhls, u.a. die geschützte …
A Lagotti tour (Italian water dog) through the Lösshohlgassen near Bickensohl .. a small round that still offers a few meters in altitude, as the round tour goes up and down .. then a spontaneous wine tasting in Ihringen at Blankehorn winery, which is beautifully located with a panoramic view in all directions 🐾

Today's hike takes us to Bickensohl, where we hike along the Lösshohlweg path. A circuit of about 7 km. The path leads us through vineyards, forest and ravines. There are also plenty of benches to rest on. Also a revolving "sky bank" with a great view!
On the way we decided to make a detour to the Totenkopf (highest point …

The Kaiserstuhl is a small low mountain range of volcanic origin between the Upper Rhine and the Black Forest.
It is one of the warmest places in Germany with mild winters and warm summers. This means that you can find numerous heat-loving plants and animals here, including numerous different orchid species that thrive here.
