May 17, 2025,Blick auf Glems – Stausee Glems Runde von Eningen unter Achalm

Today, a short hike practically from my doorstep. Starting at a free hiking parking lot, you walk towards the Eningen Shooting Range and then to a game reserve, where, unfortunately, I didn't see anything. After that, I went to the Eningen Hiking Lodge, where they serve good food at reasonable prices, with self-catering. Then began the descent to the reservoir …

A hike on beautiful trails and with a view

We started at the parking lot at the Eninger Weide hiking home and very quickly arrived at the deer park, where we were able to observe some wild boars. Then it went to Gutenberg mainly on small paths through the forest. Our children liked the paths and so we were quickly …
