From the Schönbuchtrauf to the Saurucken, Entringen

The ‘Ammerbucher Gigeleswegle’ premium walking trail lives up to what its Swabian name promises throughout its entire length: from many spots, you can enjoy excellent views of the countryside. The word ‘Gigele’ comes from the Swabian dialect and roughly means ‘to look’ or ‘to keep an eye out’. And the trail certainly offers some fantastic views. At times, the view opens up to intimate glimpses of picturesque vineyards, idyllic villages or quiet little valleys; at others, it stretches far and wide across the Gäu region and as far as the Swabian Alb.

Nothing beats a stroll along a cheerfully babbling stream on hot days. The Stream Discovery Trail near Iselshausen offers just that. Here, the Steinach becomes a real experience. You can hear the water rushing everywhere, seating stones invite you to linger, and anyone who wishes can cross the stream on large stepping stones or cool their feet in the water. Here, you can experience nature and water up close.

This scenic circular walk leads from Holzbronn across open meadows and along shady woodland paths, past the Waldeck ruins and through parts of the fascinating Xanderklinge Gorge. “Moment, linger a while! You are so beautiful!” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust I) This quote beautifully captures what awaits you at the ‘AugenBlick’ viewpoint in Holzbronn and at all the others: a breathtaking and utterly beautiful view. These special viewpoints, complete with a bench, a small table and a labelled panorama board, invite you to discover the landscape. The ‘AugenBlick’ viewpoints are designed in the style of the nature park’s logo – the distinctive ‘nature park eye’ – and also serve as the starting point for a circular walk, the ‘AugenBlick-Runde’. Let your gaze wander and discover the diverse natural and cultural landscape of the nature park!
