Grill and picnic area at Krebsbach

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice, spacious place, also with a table set in a covered hut. As this is the only place to sit on the entire route, you have to expect that everything will be taken on nice days.

This hike is no longer recommended, as the rear section of the Krebsbach Valley from the junction to Tudoburg is closed and no longer maintained (paths damaged by forestry work, broken footbridges, dead wood everywhere, danger of falling trees!!)

Running the other way around, as in the Südkurier description, because we missed the entrance and we shortened the way back a little over meadows and forest paths. Only a remnant of the wall of the Tudoburg castle ruins can be seen.
The effects of the heavy rain this year can still be seen on the course of the brook …

Started quite early today because today is supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far. This hike is really very suitable for hot summer days because 90% of it goes through the forest along the stream. You often walk over sweet "Holzbrückle" and the path is well signposted (Krebsbachputzer hiking trail) 👍🏻😄

A very beautiful circular hike with numerous early bloomers, including the daffodil, which thrives here. The Tudoburg ruins are a great place to take a break.

But beware: This GPX track is currently not retraceable. The lower part of the Krebsbach Valley is closed due to storm damage!

! The Krebsbachtal premium hiking trail is currently closed!

After a long time, we wanted to visit the Krebsbach stream. This time we started from the rear of the Rechberg parking lot and walked over the ruins to the stream. However, this wasn't where the most beautiful part of the hike began, as we expected. A tiny, weathered sign indicated …

A little trip between shopping and visiting the son.
However, I was no longer able to see my son - the other one came from home with a spare wheel.
Meanwhile got new tires and already on the car. 😃
And now let's get to work. 🙈

A beautiful hiking trail, at least during the week there are very few people on the road, stages are also feasible, at the end a stop at the Lochmühle (Lochmuehle Eigeltingen

Caution: I was unlucky that the path in the last forest section toward Lochmühle was completely blocked by fallen trees. I fought my way through, as turning back wasn't an option for me, but it was very, very demanding and dangerous.
