Schönecker Schweiz Parking Area

Highlight • Parking

Parking lot, which is also suitable for larger cars, but busy on weekends and public holidays, there are still a lot of information boards, a shelter and a large table with benches

Bridge over the Altburger Bach

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful bridge over the Altburger Bach, which certainly carries a lot of water in winter / spring. Definitely particularly attractive at this time of the year.

September 19, 2025,(🇩🇪 BIT-PRÜ 2025-09-19) Burg Schönecken und Altburgtal 7,5 km

Today we took advantage of the late summer day and went on a lovely hike through Schönecker Schweiz.
We didn't see a soul along the entire route, but to Hailey's dismay, the water in the Altburgtal valley had also disappeared 👻. Still, a great hike.

Set off today in cloudy weather, got quite wet in between, but in the end the sun made an appearance 🌫️💧💧💧🌞
Ultimately a nice, varied round 🏞️🌳🐶🐾🏰
