Lion-man Island in Lonsee

Highlight • Lake

The winter pruning was rigorous.
The result: The Lion Man is more visible than ever and you can see the lake dam and the island for the first time.

Lonesee Recreation Area

Highlight • Lake

The small lake has only existed since 1978.
It was designed as a natural habitat with a structurally rich bank and a small island. Since then, a diverse flora and fauna has settled on the lake.

Juniper heath in the Lonetal

A simple round from the lone spring pot in Urspring. It shimmers just as blue as the blue pot in Blaubeuren. The Lonesee in Lonsee is worth seeing and interesting for children. A water playground has been created there with great attention to detail. Exciting for adults too. The advertised Roman fort on the way back is invisible. But the …

Unfortunately the path is very poorly signposted at the …

We hike off to Hägelesberg and into the Heiden nature reserve. From there we go down to Lonesee, a leisure oasis with a water adventure area …

The hiking trail is one of around 20 so-called ice age trails. Personally, I didn't like the round as much: The hike mainly runs on paved side roads or wide farm or dirt roads. In the first third you also walk close to the B10, which means that the path through the traffic is anything but quiet. Apart from …

I have @Gerhard Pfenninger and Ingrid to thank for this beautiful tour template. The wind was whistling 🌬 around my ears, but the fantastic views from Hägelesberg and the wonderfully colored trees 🍁🍃🍂 captivated me 🤩
