July 17, 2022,Eppinger Linie – Chartaque am Sauberg Runde von Maulbronn Stadt

A super nice hike, if it absolutely has to be cut free again in the area of the Eppingerinie in the forest, because fear always runs with a tick, especially since at 30 degrees you don’t necessarily want to hike in long pants

I have already walked part of the line at Eppingen. The entire Eppinger Linienweg has a length of 41 km that starts from Eppingen and goes to Mühlacker. Wonderful hiking trails …

March 9, 2025,Vom Kloster zur Kirchenburg

In preparation for a guided hike, we set off from Maulbronn Monastery towards Lienzingen today. There was a lot to see along the Eppingen Lines. At the Lienzing church fortress, we had half-time coffee with a delicious piece of cake before heading back to Maulbronn along the Eichelberg in the warm sun.
