This hiking route through the Aachtobel is an impressive mix of wild nature, exciting history, and sweeping views. Deeply cut into the landscape, the Linzer Aach has created a gorge up to 120 meters deep here over millennia. A place that feels noticeably different: cooler, more original, almost a little…

Hohenbodman Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hohenbodman tower offers a great view of the hinterland towards Höchsten, but also, of course, to Lake Constance and the Alpine chain behind it. However, climbing the tower is not entirely without danger.

April 14, 2023,Rundwanderung Aachtobel mit viel Wasser 💦😉

Today on the last day the hoped-for sun was finally here 😀.
This time it was a contrast to NSG Aachtobel as one of the oldest NSG in Germany.
That alone sounded exciting, but the view on site was amazing.🤩
Accompanied by the water, we went uphill and downhill on narrow paths over hill and dale 🥾.

Muddy - Dirty - Fog - Rain -
And yet it had something. I'm not on the tower. No view. But a young group with children came towards us. You liked it. Greetings to you. 👍👏

April 12, 2023,Aachtobel Wanderung: Von Steinhöfe zum Aussichtsturm Hohenbodenmann

Hiked through the Aachtobel today in changeable weather ☁️🌦️🌧️. It was beautiful, very slippery, adventurous and quite exhausting in places. But we mastered the adventure, the clothes and the hiking boots are covered with dirt, but why do I have a washing machine 😜. Today we were finally lucky to visit and climb the observation tower. On the tower you …

Today we went on a "real" hike again:

We started at the free car park below the tower in Hohenbodman.

After visiting the tower we went back towards the car park and then left down the tarmac road to Mayer's Burghöfe to enjoy an ice cream.

Sooooo... a Father's Day hike was on the agenda - and there was nothing going on.
We parked right next to the tower in a well-designed, free parking lot for hikers.
First, we climbed the 137 steps up to the top of the tower - you'd better be sure-footed. Some of the steps are very worn. But the view is …

October 23, 2022,Aachtobel mit Wallfahrtsort Maria im Stein und Hohenbodman

Inspired by Wolfgang's beautiful autumn photos, we decided today to do this tour again in a slightly different form.
This time we also started from the Steinhöfe hiking car park. Shortly thereafter, steps descend into the ravine, and along the molasses rocks you reach the pilgrimage site of Maria im Stein.
Continue through the ravine to the flood retention basin, …
