View from Sonnenfels over the Ermstal to Hohenneuffen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Due to its exposed location, you have a great almost 180° view. Otherwise, everything here is wooded and you can hardly see anything. This makes this viewpoint something very special.

Always a great view from the Rossfels. Sometimes you can also watch the glider flying or fortify yourself with a grilled red drink with the pilots at the weekend.

Very nice round, start was at the “Hohe Warte” hiking car park. The cakes at the Eninger Weide hiking home are recommended. Delicious!

This inspiring hiking trail is designed to help you feel as free as a bird, able to see everything.

Even those who set out to the Hohe Warte and climb this tower will literally feel this freedom. The view opens up new worlds, far beyond the Swabian Alb. On a clear day, you can see the Neckar Valley, as far …

Today we hiked the high-altitude hiking trail. The starting point was the St. Johann stud farm. Just drive past it, and you'll find the free parking spaces behind it. The parking spaces ahead are subject to a fee.

A very beautiful tour with mostly nature trails and hardly any gravel paths. There are plenty of places to enjoy the view. …

It was a lot of hard work, but ultimately it was worth it. Magnificent views of countless attractions in the region. Teck, Neuffen, Hohenurach and so on. Gliding airfield that certainly offers something to marvel at when in use, but today it was too windy. The Hohe Warte, a lookout tower that we didn't use, also looked good. What fooled …

Finally, another completely perfect hike in ideal weather. It did me a lot of good today, as I'm not exactly in the best mood right now 🫣

The parking lot at the St. Johann Stud Farm is unfortunately subject to a €3 fee, so it's better to choose a different starting point.

Great route with lots of highlights and lovely little paths - mostly in partial shade. Still a bit muddy today.
Next time I would skip the detour to the reservoir and add the Güterstein waterfall instead.

A beautiful trail with great highlights. Two drawbacks: the trail begins at a paid parking lot; a free parking lot directly on the trail is about 400 meters away; the trail passes the Hell Holes, although the passage via two ladders is attractive.
