This certified premium hiking trail is only marked in winter. Walking on a rolled blanket of snow, hikers can enjoy the icy magic that has settled over forests, heaths and open spaces. Truly magical views open up over the Zell Horn and, on a clear day, you can even see the peaks of the Alps from the Raichberg tower. More detailed information on the current snow conditions can be found on the operator's website (www.albweiss.de).
Although there are various starting points, most winter hikers use the Stocken car park. The Zollersteighof and the Nägelehaus are two great places to stop for refreshments right along the way, which are particularly welcome during the cold season.
Highlights of the hike:
- Winter eaves walk
- Fantastic views
- Raichberg and Albstadt Onstmettingen
