September 15, 2024,Burg Hohenhewen🏰

Engen's local mountain, the Hohenhewen, is 846 m above sea level and is a phonolite cone. Around 1170, the Lords of Engen built a mighty castle, then called themselves Lords of Hewen and ruled the region for almost 400 years.

August 2, 2021,🚶‍♂️ (D) "Hegauer Kegelspiel" Hewensteig-Hohenhewen, ab Engen-Anselfingen

Is offered as a premium hiking trail. However, some of the paths are in extremely poor condition and hardly maintained, and even wet, by no means premium. Here, too, there are many paths in the forest without a view. With the exception of the summit area, I can only recommend the tour in this current form to a very limited …

Family tour around the Hohenhewen. Despite the side, it was nice to walk and also had a special atmosphere.

The Almenhütte hiking car park above Anselfingen is the official starting point of the tour. First, the path at the …

At the end of the year with a small but nice round one of my favorite mountains in the Hegau, which Hohenhewen visits in the best weather.
Conclusion; a great year of hiking with many beautiful tours and countless sights comes to an end. I wish all Komootlers a Happy New Year and a great start into the New Year.

July 23, 2023,Hewensteig (mit kleiner Variante)

The route of the Hewensteig is quickly explained. On one side, a path leads up through the wooded slopes of the extinct volcano, culminating in the treeless crest of the mountain with its ruins and pretty lookout tower offering a 360-degree view of the Hegau landscape. On the other side of the mountain, the path first leads through the forest, …
