September 2, 2022,Traufgang "Zollernburg-Panorama" - Albstadt - Onstmettingen
A hiking greeting from my wife from the beloved Swabian Alb. And as so often before, she (or we together) hiked one of the most beautiful hiking trails we know at the earliest dawn.

Right off the bat: the woman wasn't there today, so it's only half as nice. 🥹 Then such a hike will be more of a sporty affair. 😅 And the dog liked it too. The eaves have done it to us anyway. We've gone there several times. But this time we have optimized. And the running direction. And I'll explain …

Despite 3 degrees Celsius and a persistently icy wind, we set off directly from the hotel on the panoramic tour, and it lived up to its promise.

Beautiful views of the valley and the majestic Hohenzollern Castle were constantly on offer.

At the Nägelehaus hiking lodge, we were treated to a hot soup to warm us up.

Start and finish was at our apartment. But there are enough parking spaces for hikers along the Taufgang route.

When we arrived at the parking lot, it was raining, and it would take another three hours. After a quick thought, I put on my hiking boots. Perfect, because the rain let up immediately. The roots uphill were very slippery in places, the sun was shining through, and the view was wonderful. Everything was done right 😍

The loop from Hangender Stein to Höhengasthof Wanderheim Nägelehaus can confidently be shortened.

Mega hike - There's not much more to say:
Today we went on the Traufgang, or more precisely on to the Zollernburg panorama from the Stich car park.
The whole route was a dream, either along the Albtrauf over root paths through the pine forests or later on meadow paths through the juniper heath. There were many viewpoints from rocks …

Currently, tree felling work is taking place on the way back from Zeller Horn, therefore a small detour to Zollersteighof is necessary.
