Today we did a tour from the "Hochgehberge" series. It's called "hochgehaelt". As citizens of the beautiful country of Hadeln, we naturally read "hochge-haelt" and not "hochgeh-adelt" as the marketing agency probably had in mind.
The tour was very nice, we had fantastic views and, away from the Teck, we had a lot of peace and quiet. In addition to …

I would suggest this trail as expert. I found it really tougher than "hochgehflogen" which is categorised as expert. It is difficult and dangerous in winter. But a great trail indeed.

The tour leads from the Hörnle hiking car park (near Bissingen an der Teck) via Teck Castle - Yellow Rock - Rauber ruins with barbecue area - Bühl view to the Breitenstein viewing rock with barbecue area, further to Bleichehäusle and back to the …
