The Schwarze Lauter is the left source of the Lenninger Lauter. It rises in Schlattstall from the Lauterquelle and the Goldloch. Near Lenningen it joins the Weiße Lauter to form the Lauter.

October 4, 2025,Lange Steige Schlucht – Felsformation Große Schrecke Runde von Gutenberg

Today we set off from a hiking parking lot in Gutenberg. We passed small water terraces to a waterway, then through nature to the rock formations. A very beautiful route with lots of nature and mostly paved paths. At one point in the rock formations, you'll need to be a good walker and wear sturdy shoes. The long climb can …

The perfect round in hot weather - apart from a short section in the middle over the plateau you are always in the shade 😊

March 8, 2022,Schlattstall, Goldloch, kleine Schrecke, Schreckenfelsen, Erdtal und über die Lange Steige zurück

After I had a check-up appointment at the ZA this morning, the Autal was canceled and it became the Erdtal.
Gabi gave me the idea, thanks for that.

I knew everything except the old climb from the tour, but I wasn't aware that there was a Märzenbecher in the lovely, wild Erdtal valley.
Except for the uneventful 2 kilometers on …

From the travertine terraces near Gutenberg, we hiked the Lange Steige trail in the biosphere reserve up to the Swabian Alb plateau. The weather was perfect today, and we were able to admire the view from the Schreckenfelsen rock formation down into the valley. The route was challenging, but traversing the sea of rocks was well worth it.

Today I was on the trail of Rusty, Sabine & Kiwi. Thank you for this beautiful tour! As you have already described, it was a highlight. Even though I had troubles in two places, again. But I could have asked beforehand how the paths are.
But from the beginning. It starts in Schlattstall and from there to the gold hole. …

June 24, 2023,Felsenmeer – Große Schrecke Runde von Böhringen

Today's tour reminded us very much of the Felsental near Geislingen or the Wolfstal, but it was almost a little nicer. Unfortunately, the great rock formations don't always come out as well on the photos as we felt on site. Despite being on a Saturday, we had the valley all to ourselves. Large parts of the hike also went through …

February 8, 2025,Wanderung v. Schlattstall zum Goldloch 🦇💧, Aufstieg ü.d. Lange Steige, a bissle über d. Schw. Alb 😎, Abstieg ü.d. Erdtal & große Schrecke 😁👍

Hello, today I was in and around the Lenninger Valley again 🙋‍♂️. About three years ago I did a tour there on the long climb, which started in a similar way. I found the long climb so beautiful back then that I was drawn there again today 😊. But now to my tour: I parked my car in Schlattstall in …

April 5, 2024,Lange Steige und große Schrecke bei Schlattstall⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The start was at the "Lange Steige" hiking car park. The path of the Lange Steige is described as alpine - it is slippery in places, but easy to walk on and beautiful. At the moment, the fresh green of the grass and mosses as well as the flowers stand out. The Goldloch is near Schlattstall. Then it continues along …
