The game park is always recommended for young and old. The visit is the right thing in every season, especially since it does not cost entry and parking is also quite good.

September 26, 2023,Alb-Donau-Kreis Eiszeitpfad - Laichinger Höhlentour

First we hike alternately through forest and open fields to Hagsbuch. On its western flank we have a beautiful view as far as Feldstetten. A steep path leads down through the forest, past the Hohler Stein cave, to …

Ice Age Trails 19/20 ✔️

The penultimate Ice Age Trail is complete. And this time without falling in the cave 🙈

It alternates between paved paths, forest trails, and dirt tracks, so there were some nice and some less nice …

After visiting the Tiefenhöhle, we followed the trails of the Ice Age paths.
The start was also on 🅿 at the Tiefenhöhle past the climbing garden.
Most of the path sections were on meadow and forest paths.
There was very little going on in the game reserve. We didn't see any wild boars and the deer and stags were taking …

The car park at the Tiefenhöhle Laichingen is the starting point for a hike through the beautiful hilly landscape of the Alb. Meadows, fields and forest paths lead past sinkholes and beautiful vantage points. At the end, the biggest highlight of the tour awaits you: the Laichingen deep cave - steep stairs descend up to 55 meters. What an experience!

Today, after 33 🫣 years, the deep cave was on the list again 📃
We were amazed 🤔 about the modern renovation work. Even the narrow gap of discovery, which was offered as a cave entrance at the time, has been changed. Today everyone fits through the entrance door.
After the detailed tour 🤩 over many ladders 🪜 we went …
