The Limes Hiking Trail (HW 6) of the Swabian Alb Association, which is a total of 245 km long, runs from Miltenberg on the Main through Lorch to Wilburgstetten on the Wörnitz. It follows the course of the Upper German-Raetian Limes within Baden-Württemberg. Numerous remains and traces can still be seen at the approximately 1850-year-old former Roman border fortification: rampart and ditch, watchtowers, forts, and other buildings. In addition, several museums and reconstructions provide a good impression of life at and behind the Limes back then. On this route, we hike the approximately 12 km section between Schwäbisch Gmünd and Böbingen.
