The circular route "Spalter Hügelland-Tour," awarded with the "Wanderbares Deutschland" certificate, offers an interesting and varied hike through the Spalter Hügelland. The 21 km hiking trail leads from Spalt through scenic gorges and natural monuments to castles and fortifications and back to the starting point. Along the way, the nature and beautiful views of upland areas impress, alternating with ascents and descents. Shady valleys invite you to linger and enjoy the surroundings. The landscape is characterized by forests, cherry orchards, and the region's typical hop cultivation. There is the option to split the route and return to Spalt along the beautiful Rezat valley.

Excursion in the Lake DistrictWhy not let yourself be ferried by the trimaran to the starting point of the hike? If you can arrange it, you should treat yourself to this little pleasure. It is possible from early April to the end of October. This boat takes hikers from Enderndorf to Allmannsdorf in 20 minutes. The three hulls give the »MS Brombachsee« incredible stability. No one gets seasick here. On the contrary: passengers feel like they are floating above the water.

A hike with many scenic highlights. The starting point of the hiking trail is the recreation area at Igelsbachsee. The route first leads to Hagsbronn, through hops, forest, and fields to Keilberger Chapel and further through the village of Keilberg towards Igelsbachsee. Along the north shore trail of Igelsbachsee, it goes back to the starting point in Enderndorf am See. A turnoff to Stockheim is signposted.

Through Hopfenland and deep gorgesIn and around Spalt, everything revolves around hops and beer. The Spalter Land is the oldest hop-growing region in Germany with a history of over 1000 years. Many old hop houses with their broken steep saddle roofs and mighty half-timbered gables characterize the town's appearance. And the Spalt beer from the only German municipal brewery even has cult status: "In Spalt, in Spalt, people grow old. They don't care about anything else, that's what good beer does." But not only good beer keeps you young, but also hiking in beautiful landscapes. And the surroundings of Spalt have a lot to offer. The well-signed route of the Spalter Hügellandtour leads with constant ups and downs through deep gorges and over scenic heights. Along the way, there are also one or two opportunities to draw new strength from the good Spalt beer for the rest of the path.

    Aufgeteilt in zwei Schleifen von Spalt nach Höfstetten (15 km) und von Höfstetten nach Spalt (13 km) und durch den Teiler "Rezat-Tal" ist diese Tour sehr abwechslungsreich. Insbesondere die "Ostschleife" mit dem Müllersloch und der Massendorfer Schlucht (unbedingt mit einbauen) ist sehr schön. Ein kleines Manko auf der "Westschleife": Gerade im Abschnitt zwischen der Straße ST 2723 und dem Schnittlinger Loch sind Rastmöglichkeiten sehr rar. Hier wäre die ein oder andere Bank o.ä. sicherlich ein Gewinn. Toll sind v.a. die unterschiedlichen Wegbeschaffenheiten - der Anteil an Asphalt ist sehr sehr gering! Und auch bei Feuchtigkeit / Nässe in der Schlucht ist diese bei vernünftigem Schuhwerk und entsprechender Vorsicht gut zu bewältigen.

    Ist wirklich ein sehr schöner Weg. Wir sind ihn an einem extrem heißen, sonnigen Tag mit Hund gelaufen. Dadurch, dass er aber sehr viel im Schatten/Wald verläuft, geht das super. Kann man nur empfehlen, einfach schön.

    Super schöne und sehr abwechslungsreiche Tour. Wir haben sie etwas abgewandelt und sind durch die Massendorfer Schlucht gewandert (lohnenswert) und danach wieder in die markierte Strecke eingestiegen. Auch für Hunde gut geeignet, es gibt immer wieder Bade- und Trinkgelegenheiten. Ist wirklich eine Top-Tour, mit Einkehr und Lesen der zahlreichen Infotafeln ist sie aber eher als Tagestour zu empfehlen.

    Sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Tour. Der einzige Wermutstropfen ist, das der markierte Wanderweg leider an der Massendofer Schlucht vorbei führt, und nicht durch die Schlucht.

    schöne Wanderung jedoch empfehle ich jetzt im Sommer auf jeden Fall ein Insekten spray! Die Moskitos haben mich beim lebendigen Leib aufgefressen! Und ich hatte eine Zecke… Aber damit muss man rechnen. Ansonsten schöne Wanderung
