The award-winning long-distance hiking trail passes sheep farms, juniper heaths and calcareous grasslands. Far away from everyday life, in the lonely footsteps of shepherds. The best way to discover the beauty of the Swabian Alb is to hike the entire distance in 10 stages. The route takes you from the Lone Valley to the Eselsburg Valley, through the Steinheim Basin (the best-preserved meteorite crater in southern Germany), past the rock formations in the Wental Valley and to Härtsfeldsee near Neresheim.
The Albschäfer Trail can also be hiked in smaller stages:
