Stone Age Trail on Ölberg

Highlight • Trail

Pretty narrow but rustic paths with a steep embankment right next to them. You definitely need sure-footedness for this.

Aslan from Koblenz was here to visit (son of Calypso).

Aslan and Calypso are Italian. Water dogs, we …

Nice short hike with beautiful views. In the forest you pass old caves from the Ice Age from 13,000 years ago, about 1/3 of the tour in the sun and 2/3 in the shade.

Through the still green forest we reached the steep walls and caves where hunters had set up camp a long time ago. We …

On the trail of reindeer hunters and sand lizards

The most famous photo motif in the Markgräfler Land is the panoramic view from the Ehrenstetter Ölberg. Hardly anyone suspects that the Ölberg is not just a vineyard with historic vineyard terraces and a nature reserve with a rare variety of plants and animals. Hidden in the forest are impressive caves …
