Hiking

Small but mighty! The Traufgängerle Hexenküche (Witches' Kitchen) is a brisk, premium short hike around Ebinger Schlossberg (Ebingen Castle Hill) – especially for young and young-at-heart hikers – and promises pure variety.

The starting point of the nearly four-kilometer circular route is the impressive tree archway at the Waldheim parking…

The top observation deck is located at an altitude of almost 970 meters. The tower is freely accessible. In good weather, you can enjoy a 360-degree view extending all the way to the Alps.

December 25, 2022,Traufgang 1 - Traufgängerle: Hexenküche (Zum Einstieg)

A nice short but still quite demanding tour. It is particularly suitable as a start for the "eaves".

A two-part circular trail, rich in attractions, exciting for children and the young at heart.
The longer section features interesting rock formations and great views (be careful, there's a steep drop immediately behind the rocky outcrops). If the castle rock tower is open, the climb is highly recommended.
The witch's kitchen, which gives the trail its name, can also be …

This Traufgängerle (Treat Walk) is a short circular hike around the Ebingen Castle Hill. Large rock formations and small caves form the Witch's Kitchen.
Many families with children take the first section, as it also features an adventure playground and a wild boar enclosure. A bit of surefootedness is required in a few places. Many small, lovingly crafted details, such …

Enjoyed a leisurely Sunday with Moni today with a short but time-extended hike. The Traufgang Traufgängerle Hexenküche was our goal today and we met at the Waldheim WP in A-Ebingen. If you don't know your way around, the parking lot is a bit difficult to find, so don't enter Waldheim 1 in the navigation system, but 2-6. The first km …

﻿@Schwäbische Alb﻿ Very nice hiking trail, good for children.
Unfortunately very crowded on nice weekends. Caotic parking along the street and at the sports field.
Otherwise many highlights with magnificent views. Premium marked.
MTB use this path at different points in parallel.
