Everything was just right there. Great paths, a gorge, a cave, a ruin, beautiful rocks and the weather was really friendly too! Now slowly more green ☺️, the soul will be a little happier.
Komoot briefly became a bit independent today, for whatever reason. Very nice tour, absolutely recommended!

July 9, 2022,WP Rulamanweg-Burgruine Hohenwittlingen_Schillerhöhle_Wolfsschlucht_Felsenmeer_Hohenwittlingen_09.07.2022

Today a hike around Wittlingen_Bad Urach.
Starts at the Rulaman trail parking lot. From here it goes to the Wittlingen castle ruins (unfortunately, the castle was closed to me due to construction work.
So as of July 2022.
From what I've heard (as of November 2022), the castle should be open again.
Then to the Schiller cave, Wolfsschlucht, TSV Sportheim, …

The last section of the tour before crossing the federal road is currently a bit challenging because you have to cross twigs and branches from tree felling. This works well when conditions are dry, but I find crossing the branches and twigs less fun when wet.

Down through the very beautiful and wild Wolfsschlucht, before going steeply uphill again, past beautiful wall paintings, up to the Schillerhöhle, which is supposedly freely accessible for about 250m! Absolutely recommended... After this highlight we continued up to the Hohen Wittlingen ruins with …

A really nice hike, the fog today made the tour really mystical. Our little fire at the foot of the castle ruins was great, just "fry" a few marshmallows. The castle ruins are currently closed for renovation work.

October 10, 2021,Wolfsschlucht – Hohen Wittlingen Runde von Rulamanweg

The altitude difference is not right. Downhill it is also 430m. The GPS let me down in the end. Long planned and finally made. I can only recommend the tour. Most of the paths are easy to walk on. Nevertheless, I would not do the tour in bad weather ❄️🌧️. Mainly natural trails that are easy to walk. P. s …
