Wonderful circular route in Bad Urach, Baden-Württemberg.
The start is at the "Maisental" car park, right next to the Maisentalstüble, where a stop for a bite to eat is possible after the hike. The "Bad Urach Wasserfall" railway station is also very close by, making it easy to travel by public transport.
Impressive waterfalls and wild, romantic nature await. There is a fairly extensive network of paths here, so that long or short tours can be organised to suit individual requirements. It is best to plan well in advance, as the signposting is patchy.
