The two Egleen lakes are slightly elevated on the edge of the small village Gerstetten. In the shade of the big and old trees, you can really relax from your hike and enjoy the view of the Swabian Alb.

February 20, 2022,Berg 〽️ Tal (Eglensee🐊 - Gassental - Skilift ⛷Zähringen - Altheim (Alb) ⛰ - Hirschental - Hungerbrunnental- Gerstetten)

Before the next storm low "Antonia" 🌬 comes, shot a morning lap. I saw the tour at Alexander's yesterday and thought 💬 this morning "I'll do it while it's still quiet"💤. Thank you 🙏, you Alexander for sharing. I hiked the original route "Berg und Tal 〽️" and of course I also planned the Eglensee🐊💦. The entire route is excellently …

It was the turn of the round "mountains and valleys" this morning. Comfortable tour among friends and definitely worth seeing!! Lots of area!
Insider tip: make an additional detour to the Bühler butcher in Altheim

The tour can also be found on the website of the municipality of Altheim:

January 28, 2024,Runde Altheim - Variante von ‚Berg und Tal‘

Variant includes a small detour and a short 'Mittelberg' passage through a beautiful high valley. If you want a shorter route, just follow the signs. If you're looking for a little longer, turn right in Zähingen and look for the path south 'along the cliff' (red/ plus 4-5km)
