July 25, 2025,Bettenburg und Schwedenschanze Runde von Eichelsdorf

I think all the luxury hotels on the world's beaches should have a landscaped park like this one here. Incidentally, it's privately owned, as the owner vehemently informed me, and therefore not to be sealed, so I just quickly took a picture of the courtyard. The further route to the Schwedenschanze (not a Swedish ski jump but a Celtic ring …

This hike is a combination of a round to the Bettenburg landscape garden and the tour "On Jägerpfaden to the Schwedenschanze", whereby the second part of the round with great views from the observation tower at the Schwedenschanze was completely convincing. At the Bettenburg landscape garden, please do not cross the street as you did here and run up to …

Highly recommended as a "shade tour" on sunny, hot days, as the path runs almost entirely through the forest and the incline is not too steep. Also well signposted throughout. Refreshment in the form of chilled drinks is only available on weekends and public holidays at the Schwedenschanze observation tower.

Once again visited the landscape park of Christian von Wetzhausen, then walked on the Rennweg to the Schwedenschanze and enjoyed coffee and cake there at the kiosk. On the very nice descent from the Schwedenschanze towards Rottenstein and then on the Hasenwege parallel to the road to the starting point back to the hiking car park above Eichelsdorf.
