May 26, 2024,HochAlbPfad Felsquellweg in Oberdigisheim

From the reservoir, the path leads through the beautiful, secluded Kohlstattbrunnenbach valley past the stream "stairs" and the spring up to the plateau. You pass the district of Geyerbad and reach the Sommerhaldenfels with a bench and a great view. Continue up and down to the Hohlen Fels (view of Oberdigisheim) and again, sometimes steeply, down into the valley. At …

From the parking lot at the Oberdigisheim reservoir, the trail continues through the Kohlstattbrunnental valley, past the stream terraces and the spring, up to the plateau. Beautiful panoramic views of Plettenberg, the Alb plateau, and Obernheim await. Continue past the Geyerbad district to the Sommerhaldenfels and Hohler Fels viewing cliffs. Then, the trail descends back into the valley and, above …

What a lovely afternoon round. 🌞👌
The Felsquellweg, one of the Meßstetter Hochalb trails, has its charm especially in winter. The weather was ideal. At the parking lot the 🌡❄❄❄ thermometer showed +2 degrees. 3 hours later it was a frosty -6 degrees. The sun and the sky did their best.
We even had a view of the Alps. Very …

The hike with my sweetheart starts from the parking lot, which is free, and first leads to the lake.
The lake is divided into two parts: a swimming area 🏊‍♀️ and a fishing area.
We set off early in the morning, and the mystical mist that settled over the water immediately captivated us. 📸

This morning I looked out of the window and there was just a foggy soup again. What to do on the plain or a little higher up?
We decided to go higher up and drove to Oberdigisheim. Unfortunately not such a great decision. The fog there was thicker than at home.
We parked at the hiking car park "Oberer Stausee". …

A spontaneous hike with new hiking gear from GONZO / Maier Sport (Albstadt) and I was ready for a tour on the Alp in Tailfingen. The plan was a lovely hike down the slopes – but I was surprised at the parking lot: all access points were closed due to a cycling race that weekend. 🛑

Today's tour started from the parking lot at the Unterdigisheim reservoir under a bright blue sky and sunshine. First of all, we continued around the lake on wide paths through the forest and the Alb plateaus. Past juniper heaths and through valleys, it was a very beautiful round that is particularly attractive in winter. Great views of the snow-covered Alb …
