May 1, 2024,01.05.2024 Ruine Hohengundelfingen und Burg Derneck

May 1st, tour through the Lautertal with the Hohengundelfingen ruins and Derneck Castle in a combination of the two 'high walkways' there.

At first quite hazy, with Saharan dust, then clearer and consistently pleasantly warm, like early summer.

On day 2 of our hiking weekend on the Swabian Alb 🌞 we do the premium trail "hochgehswiggert" of the Hochgehberge series. It starts right at the Hotel Wittstaig, where we stayed last night.

First, the narrow path leads steeply uphill to the imposing Hohengundelfingen ruins 🏰. We enjoy the breathtaking view of Niedergundelfingen Castle and the valley.

August 26, 2025,3-Burgen-Tour im Lautertal

A great hike in the Lautertal Valley. We visited three castles and almost two HochGEHwege (high-altitude hiking trails). Hohengundelfingen, Derneck Castle, and Niedergundelfingen – all three are well worth seeing. We covered the HochGEHswiggert in full on the tour, but not quite the HochGEHbürzelt. Everything was well described, and Derneck Castle is managed by the Albverein (Albverein). In Gundelfingen, on …

The Bürzel viewpoint is located above the village of Gundelfingen in the Großer Lautertal. The Steighof hiking car park is very close by. The view from there extends far over the Great Lautertal and Niedergundelfingen Castle. Hohengundelfingen Castle flashes out of the forest.

August 13, 2022,Burgen und Ruinen Tour im Großen Lautertal

Today on foot in the Great Lautertal and initially surprised by the many people and full parking spaces everywhere. Well, I'm usually in this area during the week for biking.
Unfortunately, Derneck Castle is too early on our route, so we won't stop there today.
The way to the vantage point Bürzel is very nice on the last 500m, much …
