Loop
This varied route leads through the scenic Örlinger Tal valley on the north-eastern outskirts of Ulm. The trail opens up an important local recreation area in the city on the Danube and runs along a mixture of paved forest paths, shady trails and dirt tracks, which repeatedly offer views of Ulm's fortifications. A central highlight is the contrast between the wooded slopes and the open meadow meadows of the valley, as well as the proximity to the historic Fort Albeck, part of the federal fortress of Ulm. The old beech trees and near-natural hedgerow structures are an excellent place to observe great spotted woodpeckers, red kites and, in spring, numerous songbirds. The route has moderate gradients on the ascent from the valley, but the good path conditions make it an ideal destination for families.
