May 30, 2025,🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻🦮Mühlenwanderweg Teil 3 bei Welzheim
The Mill Trail near Welzheim connects 13 of the most beautiful preserved mills over a 37km stretch. We hiked a loop based on Circular Trail 3. However, we modified this route because the sun would have been too much for Lotta. It was also very hot for us two-legged creatures, as it was already very hot walking across the fields. …

Today I was on the "revised" mill hiking trail near Welzheim.

The mill hiking trail 3 existed as a complete route until last year - now it is divided into two shorter circular tours (3a + 3b).
A stroller trail (circular route 6) and a mill adventure trail for children ("Melchior's Adventure Tour") have been added.

The Swabian Forest Day is highly recommended.
This time we took part in the "WaldMeister MÜHLEN hiking marathon", which went really well. The good stop at the Hagmühle did the rest.
❤️-laughing thanks to the two "Waldmeisters" Walter Hieber and Manfred Krautter, who made this possible with full commitment, as well as their helpers, on a voluntary basis.
