In the deeply cut and unspoilt Albbachtal leads here a narrow wooden bridge over the stream. When you stand on the bridge, you should stop once, listen to the murmur of the water and absorb the unique atmosphere in you.

July 20, 2023,Albsteig Runde 2: Tiefenstein - Iburg - Teufelsküche - Höllbachwasserfälle

Today's round starts off bumpy: I want to park on the closed Albtalstraße, but there are machine parts for road construction lying around.

Our day begins as the last one ended: in the midst of tall wildflower meadows that lead us straight back to the Alb river.

Then we crossed the Kalbenfelsen rocks and crossed the beautifully colored beech forest.
Our next destination was the Fischerhütte in Tiefenstein.
We made the detour on recommendation. It was a …

Albsteig? Am I in the Black Forest? Or am I like the Saxon woman who, because of her dialect, got a ticket to Bordeaux even though she wanted to go to Porto? No, everything is correct.
Until now, I'd always associated Albsteig with the Swabian Alb, but there's also the one in the Black Forest along the Alb, a small …
