May 30, 2026,Gipfelkreuz Lochfelsen zur Aussicht Hakenfelsen, Hörnle und zum Lochenstein

Today a shorter tour, just put together differently.
I started from the Lochenstein parking lot up to the summit cross.
Then downhill towards Weilstetten and over the Hörnle back up again. Nice narrow paths, over meadows and some viewpoints. Great!!! 🤟

July 30, 2023,vom Lochenstein durchs Felsenmeer und übers Hörnle

After a long time we did a tour on the Alb again today. After the sky got very dark at the beginning, we suddenly had the most beautiful weather and perfect hiking temperature. I loved the Lochenstein as a child! From there we followed an ugly, steep forest path and then left the original tour spontaneously and put together the …

From the hiking parking lot in Weilstetten, first along meadows almost level to the steep ascent through the forest to the Hörnle, then along the edge of the cliff to the Lochenpass, great viewpoints above the almost vertical drop-off edge and a colorful blooming meadow opposite, all on beautiful paths, at the Lochenpass the ascent to the Lochenstein is still …

July 25, 2024,🥾 Ab Weilstetten, über den Lochen, Schinderlucke, Hörnle, Felsenmeer, J.S.

Start: large hiking car park in Weilstetten, near the sports field.
Today I did a tour from my hiking book "Rusty's Paths" from April 28th, 2024 and so I have again walked a round with 5 stars.
It is important to know that some branches are almost no longer visible, everything is overgrown. I also recommend using sticks to push …

Hello

On my hike from the parking lot of the Obst- und Gartenbauverein Weilstetten, Gewann Kälberbol 630 m. above sea level. in Balingen-Weilstetten in the Zollernalb district.

April 28, 2024,Ab Weilstetten über die Weilstätter Hütte, Felsenmeer, Hörnle, Schinderlucke und über den Lochen

This Alb ascent is becoming our favorite ascent. 🤩
On enchanted paths we go over a sea of rocks and a nature reserve in the "primeval forest" up to the Hörnle.
We climbed here for the third time today and have never met anyone. No one walks here.
At the Hörnle and then further to Lochen we walk on familiar …

August 4, 2024,Weilstetten Wandern

Great, varied hike. Good basic fitness with strong legs is an advantage. Good footwear is also an advantage. Don't run if it has rained a few days before. The first third of the long climb at the beginning is on a narrow trail that was quite slippery. There are a few sections like that. Up and down. I also brought …
