March 20, 2022,Wanderung Löwenpfad "Heldentour" & #WALK4UKRAINE

Today I was on the king's stage of the lion's path "hero's tour".
Super round, very varied and well signposted.
Nevertheless, I got "lost" once and couldn't find my way back after the photo at the distillery.
I can only recommend the hike, but there are a few meters of altitude that should be taken into account.
You also have …

October 6, 2024,Löwenpfade: Heldentour - Die Königsetappe der Löwenpfade

Like every year in October: The "Heroes' Tour". It's called that because it goes around the Heldenberg right at the beginning. And maybe also because it's the longest stage of the Lion Trails at 24 km. Unfortunately, this year the leaves haven't changed their autumnal colors yet. I'll have to do the tour again in three to four weeks. Does …

November 5, 2024,🦁 Löwenpfade Heldentour: Die Königsetappe 🦁

Lion Trails All done ✅️

It's done, I ran the last of the 16 Lion Trails today 🥳

The longest stage, the Hero Tour, was of course the final part. I almost felt like a hero afterwards, it wasn't my longest tour in terms of kilometers, but I've never walked so many meters in elevation on any tour before.

September 24, 2022,24.09.2022 Heldentour, Löwenpfad Nenningen

On Saturday, almost to the day, the heroes' tour on the Swabian Alb was repeated.

This time in the early autumn issue, because the weather couldn't be more different. Then cloudless sky, this time completely gray.
Halfway dry, just before the last descent a slightly heavier, but fortunately short, shower.
At 13-16°C mostly calm and still quite pleasant.
