If you need a break, you've come to the right place

Very beautiful there and the path is also lovely.

Very crowded in summer but beautiful

A beautiful view of the pond... The roaring water behind the bench drowns out the twittering of the birds. To get there, you have to bridge a canal about a meter wide.

An information board provides information about the geology of the rock

Coming from Doosweiher, I was missing an arrow today and got lost at the intersection. The path goes across the street and continues there. The arrows were not clear or there were arrows that were not visible due to overgrowth. 🤣

The Shepherd's Path combines geological, archaeological and settlement features on a circular hiking trail through nature. It therefore not only offers something for the eye, but also conveys a wide range of knowledge about the connections between nature, geology and people. It begins on the edge of the unique, medieval town of Nördlingen with its walkable city wall. Along the traditional paths of traveling shepherds, event boards provide information about geology, settlement history and the extensive heathland landscapes - typical, very species-rich natural areas of the Riesrand.

Before the 19th century, the gallows of the free imperial city of Nördlingen stood on this hill. From 1834 the height was transformed into a local recreation area. Maximilian of Bavaria married Marie of Prussia here. The mountain owes its current name to this event.
