Morning round from the hiking car park in Beuren up to the Dreifürstenstein. Magnificent view of Hohenzollern Castle. The daphne is already blooming at the eaves. After the descent, it's back to the parking lot via the Beurener Heide.

Sure-footedness and sturdy shoes are an advantage

Very nice hike. The ascent to the Albtrauf is very steep in the upper part (up to 30%) and leads through a landslide area.
