Loop
Panoramic loop in the Swabian Alb, Baden-Württemberg
This panoramic tour starts directly at the Weselweg/Kamerer-Schott-Straße in Frankenhofen, right next to the "Frankenhofen Raiffeisenbank" bus stop. The route first crosses the district to the south-east, past the town hall, to reach the end of the village in the direction of nature. This beautiful route is also a section of the contemplation trail with 5 plaques and does not require a great deal of fitness. It offers a wealth of impressions - rare plants, birds and butterflies can be discovered. The old beech trees in the Hungerberg nature reserve create a magical atmosphere. It is nice to bring snacks and to stop at the wooden figure of "Leni the carpenter's apprentice", otherwise stopping off in the village later is possible. Unforgettable views can then be enjoyed from the viewing platform on the Schneckenhäule - sometimes as far as the Alps. How nice that the tour is accessible all year round.
