The Albschäferweg as roundtrip around Heidenheim (2022)

In 2022, I hiked through the Albschäferweg, in my home area of the Ostalb, in several stages.
 
I already walked many sections of this path in my childhood on excursions with family, club and school and therefore the highlights were already known to me beforehand. Nevertheless, there were some new valleys, hills and perspectives that make this hiking trail very special.
 
I cannot create a personal tour report here, as I hardly took any photos during the tour. Enclosed is a list of the highlights along the way:
  • The heathland with the juniper bushes everywhere along the way
  • City of Giengen with the company Steiff
  • Güssenburg near Hermaringen
  • Brenz Castle
  • Vogelherd cave near Stetten
  • Charlotten cave near Hürben
  • Eselsburg valley
  • Hungerbrunnen valley between Dettingen and Gerstetten
  • Steinheim basin (meteor crater)
  • Wental and Felsenmeer
  • City of Heidenheim
  • Ramenstein cave near Nattheim
  • Härtsfeldsee
