Albsteig (HW1) Stage 10: Bad Urach - Honau

This route is stage 10 of the Albsteig (HW1), a long-distance trail along the northern edge of the Swabian Jura. This specific segment starts in the spa town of Bad Urach and ends in Honau (Lichtenstein). The path leads from the Erms Valley up to the Albtrauf escarpment and across the picturesque ridges of the Alb through lush beech forests. An absolute highlight is the famous Lichtenstein Castle, perched spectacularly on a cliff edge, as well as viewpoints like the Eppenzillfels. Overnight stays are available in guesthouses and hotels in Bad Urach, Honau, or at the Stahlecker Hof on the plateau; wild camping is prohibited in the nature parks. Potable water is accessible in the towns and at mountain inns along the route, but a supply should be carried for the initial steep ascent. Bad Urach is accessible by train, while Honau has regional bus connections to Reutlingen; schedules are found at https://www.bahn.de. .
