Where else does a brook run past the house, with a small waterfall. And if there is little space, you also have the traffic sign that marks the district road in front of the front door.

April 10, 2023,Eiszeitpfad Stoffelbergkapelle mit Blick auf den Bussen
A very nice round. Often also a combination with the Besinnungsweg. The snow-capped peaks of the foothills of the Alps could also be seen.

The hiking tour on the Ehinger Stoffelberg always offers wide views of the Alb and Upper Swabia and is pleasant due to the constant change of open terrain and forest.

This tour is characterized by a particularly intense landscape experience and many sights typical of hiking. Along the route you pass the Gesundheitbrünnele, the idyllic village of Mühlen with a …

Did this lap tonight. Easy fashion and still pleasant and never boring. Unfortunately, there are no great sights, but there are a few nice views of buses, the Danube valley and Ehingen. And very important, right next to the parking lot is a small restaurant with a beer garden. 😁🍻

The Stoffelberg circuit surprised me in a positive way. I wasn't expecting anything, but it was a nice circuit. The paths at the beginning were really muddy thanks to forestry work, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend the circuit at the moment.
I really liked the fallow deer enclosure near Mühlen, the animals were curious but …

Tour with wide views of the Alb and Upper Swabia. The alternation of open terrain and forest is pleasant at this time of year. We walked through a lot of rustling leaves which was really fun. The village of Mühlen is really beautiful and there is a lot to discover. The nature reserve with the Blue Quarry lets the water …

The foliage is beautifully colored and the sky is blue. What more do you want?
We particularly liked the game reserve 🦌. The fallow deer bucks were still in the rut and stalked excitedly around their ladies and roared. These, in turn, were …

Great view of the Alps and Ehingen, a nice quarry lake, lovely landscapes, beautiful forests, an enclosure with deer and 2 pretty - but unfortunately closed - chapels. Our tour on a beautiful autumn Friday really had a lot to offer. An area we haven't been to yet, but will definitely visit more often in the future. If you are …
