Little Himmelsfelsen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although it stands in the shadow of its “big brother,” it offers a charm all of its own: From here, you have a particularly beautiful view towards Geislingen, which makes it a popular, but less frequented, photo spot.

August 12, 2022,„Geislinger Felsen-Tour“ – auf und ab durchs Eybacher Tal
It's off to a good start - we just missed the bus we wanted to take from the train station to the SC Geislingen car park. So our tour started at the train station to the actual starting point at the SC car park in Eybacher Tal.
It starts on Jürgen-Klinsmann-Weg, we cross the road to Stötten and immediately turn …

From there, we enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the town of Geislingen an der Steige. We then continue along the ridge toward the Himmelsfelsen, the landmark of Eybach, with a …

On the way to the Lone Valley, the journey was too far for us. Spontaneously parked in Geislingen and walked the Löwenpfad. Brilliant autumn weather, beautiful forest trails. The yellow of the trees in front of the deep blue sky is an absolute autumn dream.

The Löwenpfad is well signposted 👍👍 rarely walked a hiking trail with more information and signposts. Top and scenic highly recommended.

And then I was so excited when I walked through the fabulously beautiful rock valley.
I felt awe-struck by the incomparable beauty of …

I used the day off and walked my first Lion Trail. It was the Geislinger Felsentour. ✔️
First I went up to the Bismarckfelsen, I was already sweating a little as I was still a little under the weather. The view from the top was great. Then over meadows and fields into the Felsental. And then another climb to the …
