The castle ruins, Lägstein, Hasenfratz and rear and front Lichtenstein were the highlights of the hike in the winter landscape on lonely paths.

April 16, 2022,von Gauselfingen (Fehlatal)eine Ruinenrunde

Today we hiked again on the Swabian Alb 🥾🥾. In the most glorious sunshine 🌞 drove off and arrived in Gauselfingen everything was gray in gray 🥺. On the Swabian Alb, the weather is often fresher, so it's a good thing that we were able to wear onion looks. But we didn't take off the onion look😊, left everything on, …

The only thing we missed on the route was a bench or table to rest and have snacks. So the ladder had to be used by a hunter's stand.
Today's beer was a souvenir from the …

As Günter wrote in his comment, what beautiful, interesting castle ruins, hidden and easy to reach. This Wednesday we …

First, the Lichtenstein ruins in front, then the ones in the back. Very beautiful. The Hasenfratz ruins are not as well preserved. The Lägstein ruins are a bit better. All in …

October 31, 2024,4 Ruinen Wanderung von Gauselfingen aus

I am a fan of old castles and ruins. It was a lovely tour through the autumnal deciduous forest. Unfortunately, some of the paths were not recognizable as such, but this could also have been due to the time of year (tall grass and lots of leaves). We found the ruins easily and there is a brief information sheet on …
