    Mühlebach - Hollow stone Alfdorf

    Mühlebach - Hohler SteinMühlebach - Hohler Stein
    The "Hasenrundweg" leads south of Alfdorf through gorges and blades on both sides of the Mühlebachs. The tour begins on the layers of the Unterjuras and leads over Rutschmassen of the Knollenmergels by the layers of the Stubensandstein. The "Bembemberlesstein" is a striking sandstone formation with many small depressions. The hiking trail crosses several small brooks cut in V-shape before the first large target, the Lorch Schiller Grotto, is reached. The path continues down to the Mühlebach and on the other side up again. At about half the height, the imposing cave stone surprises. Through a small stream that falls over a hard sandstone edge, the underlying softer sandstone is slowly eroded. A big, fallen down lump testifies to what strength is in the small stream and let the cave roof partially collapse.
    Tip: The "Hasenrundweg" and the main hiking route 3 of the Swabian Albverein (section Lorch - Alfdorf) leads past the Hohle Stein!

      The Hasenrundweg is especially recommended for families a highly recommended circular route, as the grottos and the partially enchanting paths offer a lot of variety and experience.

        An impressive cave practically semicircular, into which a stream flows from above and drips directly onto a block of stone below.
