From Herrenweiherpark in Regglisweiler, we walk along Bergstraße through the village and climb up to the Altenberg along the edge of the forest, the former site of two castles. A narrow path leads past the moat. We make our way down through the forest, turn off towards Dietenheim and reach the Iller. We now follow the path along the Iller and through the magnificent floodplain landscape with its many tree species and lush vegetation.

A walking tour through a magnificent beech forest and down to the banks of the Iller with its impressive floodplain woodland.
This walking tour offers two distinct landscape experiences. On the one hand, the densely wooded Holzstöcke; and on the other, the banks of the Iller with their beautiful floodplain forest.

Notes
Author: Alb-Donau District Tourism
The straightened and fast-flowing River Iller has since been slowed down again by the construction of weirs, in order to protect the floodplain forest and mitigate the risk of flood damage.

Departure from Bernstadt (Regierungsbezirk Tübingen)
A varied walking tour through one of the most beautiful sections of the Lone Valley and through the Eschental to the edge of the Markhau.
The Fohlenhaus rock formation in the Lone Valley is a relic from prehistoric times, formed from the reefs of the Jurassic Sea and petrified into rock over millions of years. It stands clearly visible at a bend in the River Lone, and the lovely rest area next to it is ideal for barbecues and games.
The Fohlenhaus Loop encompasses one of the most beautiful sections of the Lone Valley. The walk follows mostly unspoilt paths and trails and is characterised by the stunning landscape. Whether along the river valley, through the rocky Eschental Valley or at the Küchleshalde, the alternation between valley, forest and higher ground is perfect.
