Wilhelmsfels paragliding launch with views of Hohenneuffen and the valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The place is only really interesting, even if paragliders are traveling and starting from here. Especially in bad weather, it is not worth making a detour here.

June 22, 2025,Beurener Fels - Hohenneuffen - Erkenbrechtsweiler

Great tour today... We started from the parking lot near Erkenbrechtsweiler, first to the Beurener Fels, then down to Beuren. Through the back part of Beuren towards Hohenneuffen, past the ski hut, and back up again. In today's intense heat, we had free choice of spots on Hohenneuffen. After a cool drink, we headed back through the forest to the …

Great circular hike with beautiful views of Beuren, the valley and the Hoher Neuffen. Also recommended in winter. You can recharge your batteries on the Hoher Neuffen to ensure you have enough energy for the later climb to the end of the loop.

Since my wife and I had the day off together, we followed a suggestion from Komoot. We adapted the tour a bit for ourselves.
We started at the hiking car park near Hohenneuffen Castle, which was still quite empty. It turned out to be a real rocky hike with great views.
Most of the sections were through the forest and …

March 5, 2022,Beurener Fels - Burg Hohenneuffen – von Beuren

Sunny tour of Beuren, past the Beurener Felsen, Erkenbrechtsweiler over the Hohen Neuffen back down. You just can't take the S1 path down from the castle. There are many trees that make the path impassable. So it was time to turn back...

April 16, 2022,Brucker Fels – Burg Hohenneuffen, Runde von Beuren

This time a hike in the district of Esslingen. The route of the tour is suggested by Komoot. First it went steeply uphill to the Beurener Fels, then to the Brucker Fels and finally to Hohenneuffen Castle. Again and again there were great views of the surroundings.

On the further way from the Brucker Fels to Erkenbrechtsweiler - also along the eaves …
