エスリンゲンの絶景の山頂・トップ18

The Boßler is a prominent mountain in the Swabian Alps near Gruibingen, rising to 794.7 meters above sea level. From its vantage point on the edge of the Alb plateau, a sweeping view opens up across the Alb foothills – on a clear day, this extends far to the west. A large memorial cross also stands here, commemorating several tragic aircraft crashes that have occurred in the region since the 1940s.

Merkenberg Castle stretched over an area of around 65 x 13 metres on the towering summit of the Erkenberg. Today, two hollows can still be seen, which may indicate the location of former buildings.

The large forecourt is equipped with solid table sets and there is also a covered grill.

Nice trail as a loop, clockwise probably better than against how I did it. Steep, so strong calves or motor recommended;) Despite the foliage, the path was clearly visible and not overgrown even at this time of year.

Always along the edge of the disused quarry.

Memorial stone for 17 people who died on the Bossler

The edge of the former quarry is impressive. The path leads over the grad, with demanding vertical meters to be mastered up and down.

Impressive former quarry on the Hörnle. Thanks to a citizens' initiative in the 1960s, the Hörnle was not completely removed. Because that could have happened from the Dettinger side. So we have a unique natural paradise on the Albtrauf between Dettingen, Hülben and Neuffen.
