Today, due to lack of time, but with glorious sunshine, a short walk more or less on my doorstep. Unbelievable that I have found paths unknown to me again right in my home zone.
I started at the large gravel parking lot of the allotment gardens on the western edge of Weißenburg. The familiar views, elevations

New Sunday, new quarry. 😎
On Sundays, walking around quarries isn't entirely forbidden – especially when you find "clever" paths like I did. 😇
Today it was the quarry at Eichelberg in the Weißenburger Wald. I reached my intended highlight via a rather unspectacular forest loop on predominantly gravel

Today was supposed to be very special: a narrow, winding loop through the Gailach meadow valley – only the Gailach itself was hardly visible.
From my start in the Röglinger Tal, I listened in vain for splashing water. Until the confluence with the Liederberger Tal, I was virtually hiking through a dry

Today I took the opportunity to finally explore an area that I had only driven past for years: the quarry area near Rothenstein on the B13.
From the start, my path led me gently uphill, where the object of my curiosity was located: a large open-cast quarry operated by RMB Jura GmbH. The company specializes

We started at the cemetery car park in Alfershausen, a part of the municipality of Thalmässing. With the sun at my back, I initially walked west between fields and the extensive Thalach floodplains towards Laibstadt. I hardly saw the Thalach itself – but much more of its valley slopes and floodplain

This time, the tour led through the fields between Neudorf, Göhren, Geislohe, and Suffersheim on the open Jura plateau. I was met by the typical rolling fields, small forest islands, hedges, and tree-lined strips that structure the generous expanse and break the eternal wind. The distant horizon lines

After finishing the day's work, I was more in the mood for minimal movement today – and besides, it was already past noon. So definitely not my usual favorite start time. I therefore decided to do something short and comfortable right in my home zone.
And so I ended up on the Jura high plateau again

Rain was forecast for the rest of the morning. And today was my last chance to secure the remaining 4 kilometers for my 200 km challenge. So I went straight up my local mountain, the Höhenberg near Niederhofen, early in the morning.
At the top, the familiar high plateau with its stony Jura fields and

Today I had planned a nice, unspectacular route for myself again. The starting point was the sports field on the eastern edge of Enhofen/Ettenstatt. Ettenstatt lies on the northern edge of the Weißenburger Alb or the Franconian Jura. And just as the Felchbach with its floodplains runs through and separates

Forced to start today's tour again at the parking lot of Reifen Lorenz on the southwestern outskirts of Weißenburg. The reason? A last-minute exhaust repair for tomorrow's TÜV inspection. If the town had announced a competition for the most desolate hiking starting point – I would have won it with flying

Just back to the Jura high plateau in the early morning, I thought to myself. I felt like a mix of sun and clouds, wide horizons, and stony fields. That's exactly what I found in abundance on my tour between the Höhenberg and the Salacher Berg. Although "mountain" is relative here. In the Jura, even

The starting point was a pond on the northeastern edge of the village of Höttingen in the Felchbach valley. The Felchbach flows into the Swabian Rezat not far to the east, between Weißenburg and Ellingen. My round today practically had a forest half and an open-sky half. First, I crossed, slightly uphill

The Schafirrsee (also Gerolfinger Weiher) in the Gerolfinger Eichenwald near Ingolstadt is now an artificial bathing lake and a protected wetland biotope. Originally, there was a dry biotope here. Previously, a so-called 'Brenne', a valuable and dry gravel habitat, was located at this spot. In the second

Today I did my round between two villages in the west and east and two wooded elevations in the north and south. The starting point was a parking lot on the connecting road between Geilsheim and Ostheim.
With Geilsheim and the distant Hesselberg in view, I first went up to the Wachtlerberg. A surprisingly

The start of my tour today was the basin of the fire water reserve in the Weißenburg district of Weimersheim. From there, it went past the pathetic remains of a peace oak and straight into the forest. The summit plateau of the Flüglingerberg with its medieval castle remains and ramparts was not my goal
