Today we went to Bad Überkingen to see the spring snowflakes.



We parked at the Autalhalle. Day ticket €5.



In sunny weather, we walked along a forest path to the spring snowflakes. Everyone who passes by enjoys this splendor. At the waterfall, we climbed up to the Brunnensteig Cave and on to Aufhausen

Yesterday afternoon, I spontaneously decided to take a stroll through Bad Cannstatt. I kept discovering inconspicuous yet interesting places.



For example, the monument to Leopold Marx. The former residence of the writer, poet, and industrialist (Gutmann and Marx ribbon weaving mill) stood here.

From a distance, Messelberg looked quite wintry. By the time I arrived, the morning sun had already melted the few remaining snow patches. Nevertheless, it was interesting to see how the layers of ice protected the branches and twigs. The conifers also had layers of ice, which made the needles glitter

With such beautiful weather, we hiked up the Stuifen today. The paths in the sunshine were very pleasant. On the north side, the advice was: "Hands out of your pockets, don't wander around, but watch the path." This was quite appropriate given the partially icy conditions. We took a short break in the

This afternoon, I took a short hike from the Messelberg parking lot to the Messelstein. The view from there is always beautiful. Unfortunately, the hoarfrost with its ice needles had already melted. Judging by the branches lying on the ground and the sheer number of ice needles, the trees must have been

A long-planned lunch at the Wasserberghaus began today at the Hexensattel hiking parking lot. We followed the Orchid Trail up to the viewpoints and the Haarberg Cross. There were no views, but there was beautiful hoarfrost.



The menu at the Wasserberghaus is concise. The portions were generous, enough

From the playground on Seitzebachstrasse, the route initially led towards Spatzenberg. From the foot of the hill, there is a beautiful view of Donzdorf, Staufeneck Castle, and Ramsberg. The path continued along snow-covered trails to Unterweckerstell and the St. George Chapel.

Sun on the Messelberg, or freezing cold on the Swabian Alps. Even in the parking lot, hats and gloves were a must. The toboggan run by the parking lot was only moderately busy today. First, we headed to the Rötelstein. There, it was sheltered from the wind, sunny, and therefore very pleasant. We continued
