No appointments in the calendar, the weather forecast is acceptable, the ailments are modest - so I quickly look for accommodation and head off to the Swabian Alb again!

Wild gorges with imposing rocks and views, steep cliffs, huge castle ruins and caves line the way.
At the source of the Fils there was a cooling down directly in the source of the Fils.
The spring water is excellent and drinkable.
Here it's not as high as in the mountains but with a lot more green.

Lion Trails 10/16 ✔️

There is a lot of nature on offer on this tour, and you also pass the beautiful Reußenstein ruins and the source of the Fils.
I first walked past the ruins and then back a bit.
For a Lion Trail, you walk a bit too much on wide forest paths, but there are a few single …
