From here you have a wonderful view. It stretches over the vineyards to Eichstetten and further to the Black Forest, whose mountains rise impressively in the background.

March 18, 2023,Eichstetten am Kaiserstuhl Geopfad

Today again hiked the Geopfad from Eichstetten. There are always great views here, you have a lot of panorama. The paths are mostly beautiful, few roads, many vines. Always worthwhile.

December 23, 2021,Geo Pfad - Eichstetten

Finally something on tour with my two Wauzis again.
I decided on the short "Geo-Path" circuit in Eichstetten. For me it is a short journey and the short time of day did not allow me / us a longer lap before sunset.
In addition, I was very curious for a long time to finally see and commit to the spectacular …

January 19, 2022,Kaiserstuhl: Geopfad Eichstetten⭐

After Gerhard/Nick22 (thanks🙋🏽‍♀️) suggested that I walk the entire geopath, I tackled it today with Lilo. I planned the route a little differently than the official route, the signage is only good in the official route!
As a layman, I found the geological explanations very interesting, this time I also admired the beautiful ribbon jasper of the Rüttefelsen, since the …

February 27, 2022,Frühling am Kaiserstuhl

Today my husband and I were walking on two legs in the Kaiserstuhl. Spring really didn't seem far away anymore 🌻 bees, flowers, birdsong. 🙂The round was super nice, always great views, the typical vineyard flair and nice seating. The route is probably also known as the geopath. However, the information is rarely placed, so that real geology fans will …

March 5, 2022,Kaiserstuhl: Eichstetten Geopfad: Lagotti-Tour🐶

Today, after a long time, I finally took part in a Lagotti tour organized by Ingrid (Tartufo), unfortunately without Lilo, who stupidly broke a claw yesterday. So Flora was allowed to go with the Lagotti, so to speak undercover as a shrink Lagotto. 😂 She thought it was great, almost 20 dogs, mostly males...
In glorious sunshine, but still icy …

January 7, 2024,Kaiserstuhl: Geopfad in Eichstetten

After the many celebrations of the last few days and today's delicious breakfast buffet, I'm setting off on this little digestive tour on the Geo-Path in Eichstetten, as I'm in the immediate vicinity.
Just put on some other clothes, lace up your hiking boots and off you go. The weather isn't exactly great, the prospects are modest... But it could …

December 27, 2021,Eichstetten - Geo-Pfad und Schelinger Matten

I went to bed very late - got up late - after the sun had shone, threw stuff into my backpack very quickly - quickly drove to Eichstetten and did a little lap there.
After G. (Nick22) reported about the Geo-Path hike with the loess tunnel, this round was also on my plan. I forgot to download the planned tour …
