Tour with marking trail 11 from Bächlingen around Langenburg through Langenburg with cake excess 😀 and family. The tour comes from Helnz Obinger and is modified between Bächlingen and Oberregenbach because the descent to the Jagst in the forest is no longer passable. You walk here halfway up the slope straight ahead until above Oberegenbach the path into the valley is possible.
