September 10, 2022,Himmelsliegen Wanderweg Bockenau bei nicht wirklich himmlischen Wetter

Today we went to the sky loungers hiking trail Bockenau. We started at the Bockenauer Schweiz Halle, which is also a good place to park.
And we chose the 15.7 km long variant. There are also variants with 10.7 and 5.9 km, which run on the same route just shorter. On the long tour you pass 16 sky loungers, or …

There are also benches along the way. The tour is well managed in terms of landscape. For me, however, the tar and concrete content is too …

We opted for the 15 km and started at the Bockenauer Schweiz Halle, where you can also park easily.
Actually, continuous rain …

August 17, 2022,Rundweg Himmelsliegen (um Bockenau)

I had seen the newly opened tour around Bockenau at @Katja R. (komoot.de/tour/874338708).
We walked the very well signposted long route.
Bockenau is beautifully situated in a valley on the Ellerbach (I often cycle past here). The hiking trail meanders over the hills around Bockenau. Quite a high proportion of paved or gravel roads and open areas. So not necessarily …

Today's opening of the three circular hiking trails Himmelsliege.
