From the Traifelberg viewpoint, Rötelstein and the eaves walkway, there are some places where you can go right to the front of the rock. Here you have a magnificent view …

Nice round at Holzelfingen. Bizarre rock formations are criss-crossed with paths that repeatedly lead to magnificent vantage points. The route is easy to walk and short enough to visit Lichtenstein Castle afterwards. Successful combo.

Once again admired the Echaztal from above and again and again you can see the Lichtenstein Castle.
Today we passed the fallow deer enclosure, 🐑 pastures and art on the slope.

Always beautiful, the Traifelberg rocks.
We started at the sports field in Holz-🧚‍♀️-ingen (Holz-Elfingen). Then always along the Albtrauf with many vantage points of Lichtenstein Castle from the rocks.
Back over forest and meadows, past the deer park 🦌, through the village, once visited "Art on the slope" 🎨 and back to the sports field 🥅.
