Große Schrecke Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice place with impressive landscape. You can reach the rock face via a wooden staircase, but surefootedness is required here. Make sure you wear good shoes!

The Schwarze Lauter is the left source of the Lenninger Lauter. It rises in Schlattstall from the Lauterquelle and the Goldloch. Near Lenningen it joins the Weiße Lauter to form the Lauter.

April 9, 2023,Felsenmeer – Große Schrecke Runde von Böhringen

Super nice Easter tour 🐇
Except for a short descent totally beautiful paths. Not suitable for strollers. 😀😎🐣🌞🥾

The tour is best done from spring to autumn. She's definitely magical there!

I walked it when it was humid at 6 degrees in December - it worked, but the charm suffered a lot. You could describe it positively as "ghostly atmosphere", but "muddy, a bit sad and very bare" would be more honest.

June 24, 2023,Felsenmeer – Große Schrecke Runde von Böhringen

Today's tour reminded us very much of the Felsental near Geislingen or the Wolfstal, but it was almost a little nicer. Unfortunately, the great rock formations don't always come out as well on the photos as we felt on site. Despite being on a Saturday, we had the valley all to ourselves. Large parts of the hike also went through …

The perfect round in hot weather - apart from a short section in the middle over the plateau you are always in the shade 😊

Hello, today I was in and around the Lenninger Valley again 🙋‍♂️. About three years ago I did a tour there on the long climb, which started in a similar way. I found the long climb so beautiful back then that I was drawn there again today 😊. But now to my tour: I parked my car in Schlattstall in …

After I had a check-up appointment at the ZA this morning, the Autal was canceled and it became the Erdtal.
Gabi gave me the idea, thanks for that.

I knew everything except the old climb from the tour, but I wasn't aware that there was a Märzenbecher in the lovely, wild Erdtal valley.
Except for the uneventful 2 kilometers on …
