Highlight • Trail

The Pfullinger Legend Trail is worth a visit 👍. The wooden sculptures are very beautifully carved 🤗. Each sculpture has a label with a story about the respective legend attached to it.

Worked from a complete trunk. The size of the figure can only be guessed at if someone is standing next to it.

We almost walked past these figures, they were next to the path, but they are easy to miss.

Small afternoon tour through the Pfullinger Sagenweg.
Sturdy shoes are recommended, as some of the paths are really narrow and bumpy.
If you are a little interested in the history of Pfulligen, you can even learn something on the short hike.

On the way back from the Swabian Alb, we stopped near Pfullingen to walk the local Legend Trail. The trail itself is quite easy for most sections, but at one point there's actually a rope safety device 🤔😉 The insights into Pfullingen's legends are beautifully done with the wooden sculptures and descriptions 😊 The signage isn't consistent; sometimes you'll …

Small group at the end of the day. The town of Pfullingen has set up a trail of legends at the foot of the Ursulaberg, the seat of the most well-known legendary figure, the "Urschel". Along the circular route you have the opportunity to discover various legendary figures. Small panels tell the legends about it.

Today we went to Pfullingen on the Sagenweg. The wood saw artist Billy Tröge designed various legend figures along this path. The stories of the figures are described on small plaques. Parking is available at the Pfullingen cemetery (limited to 2 hours on weekdays) and in the village. First of all, it goes uphill parallel to the road to the …

Today at noon we wanted to complete the last few hours with a short hike before the small bad weather front arrives. We had planned to start at the Sagenweg car park near the cemetery in Pfullingen. However, the parking spaces were all occupied, so we decided to use the Urselberg hiking car park. The parking spaces at the cemetery …

Beautiful but also very strenuous hike, especially if you're hiking it with two bad knees. A steep climb that you obviously have to descend again somewhere. Going up makes your lungs work, going down is good for your knees. So what? It was still nice 🤩
