The Löwenstein viewing platform on the B39

The Löwensteiner Platte is one of the best-known gatherings for motorcyclists in southern Germany. When the weather is nice, the parking lot on the B39 between Löwenstein and Mainhardt / Schwäbisch Hall is overcrowded with motorcyclists resting.
But if you walk there as a hiker, the view is worth a break.

May 26, 2022,Löwenstein - Bleichsee

On the road in the beautiful Hohenloher Land today. On my summer tour 2020 I came through here by bike and thought to myself, I'll come back here for hiking. A beautiful tour around Löwenstein with a lot of forest and wonderful views. I have moved into quarters for the next few days in beautiful Öhringen.

Sturdy hiking shoes are sensible depending on the weather (depending on the season)!
A hiking trail was not accessible. We had to turn around (see map) and followed the signs to the lake from the parking lot. The hiking trail right by the lake was very soft and muddy. The immediate, nearby forest path is easier to walk when the …

July 2, 2022,Ruine Burg Löwenstein – Aussicht ins Tal Runde von Prevorst

This round was a pleasant route between Prevorst and Löwenstein, which is easy to walk without much difficulty. Only on the last few kilometers did komoot have a section that was definitely no longer a path and can only be managed by experienced hikers. However, this can be easily avoided, via a forest path ☺️
The town of Löwenstein is …
