The Katzenbachtal is a particularly beautiful section of the Früchtetrauf premium trail "Seven Valleys Round". The stream follows the path and is so shallow in several places that you can easily get in and splash around in the water.

Very nice view of the hamlet castle, so that the experienced hiker knows and fears what is still to come. :-)

October 23, 2022,A bissle Siebentälerrunde, Neckarweg und Wolfsschlucht

Today we were first together, then separately. Uwe accepted an invitation from the Haigerloch Ski and Hiking Friends.
But 25 kilometers would have been too much for Kiwi. So we accompanied the group to the cross on the Sebastian Blau path.
From here our ways have parted. While the way for the
Others continued towards Rottenburg, Kiwi and I are …

We set off towards Rottenburg unusually early. I had seen Weiler Castle during a trainer course and just a week later it became my destination.

June 2, 2022,Weilerburg – Katzenbachtal Runde von Bad Niedernau

Today's tour had some very nice paths to offer.
But also a fairly high proportion of asphalt.
Partly through a peripheral area on a well-traveled road.
I was actually looking forward to a great view from the tower at Weilerburg, but the doors to the ascent were locked.
So you had no view. 🙁
Otherwise you get a few very …
