From the landslide, the same path is chosen and then turned right up to Hirschkopf. From there continue to Dreifürstenstein. From here descend towards Beuren to the barbecue area. Before the town, steeply ascend left again to the Albtrauf. After a short path on the HW 1, turn onto the Swabian Alb plateau and continue to Salmendinger Chapel.

The well over 13 km long premium path leads through idyllic orchard meadows up to the legendary "Dreifürstenstein" viewpoint, with its magnificent panoramic views, for example of Hohenzollern. Then it continues on the Albsteig (HW1) to one of Germany's most important geotopes – the Mössingen landslide. Then downhill to circumnavigate the Farrenberg below the former Andeck castle. Through typical beech mixed forests, one continues to the "Streuobst" panorama path and accompanied by wonderful views to the Olgahöhe recreational facility. Like all premium hiking trails, the Dreifürstensteig, marked with a red apple, is perfectly signposted and thus practically "unlosable". In 2014, the Dreifürstensteig was voted Germany's second most beautiful hiking trail in the competition of the magazine Wandermagazin.

    Schöne Runde mit einigen Ausblicken, mindestens 3 Grillstellen an der Route laden zum Brutzeln ein. Zur Orchideenzeit wollen wir die Tour nochmal laufen.

    Wunderschöne Wanderung trotz zum Teil nicht immer logischer Wegführung. Oft ist der mit einer Kirsche bezeichnete Traufweg die schönere Wahl. ACHTUNG: der Pfad auf die Andeckburg existiert so wie beschrieben nicht. Besser ab dem Grillplatz Unter Andeck den sehr gut angelegten Pfad hoch zur Burg nehmen.

    Sehr schöne Tour meistens auf Pfaden durch den Wald und über einsame, idyllische Magerwiesen. Leider ist die Tour sehr schlecht, am Anfang gar nicht beschildert.Trotz GPS verliert sich hier der Weg im Nichts. Hier muss man improvisieren. Der Aufstieg auf den Rossbergturm belohnt mit einer super 360°Aussicht.

    Sicher in der Region einzigartig, nicht nur in der Tourlänge, sondern vor allem durch die Vielseitigkeit, die das Steinlachtal, das Albvorland, den Albtrauf und die Albhochfläche ebenso umfasst, wie Stadt, Streuobstwiesen, Wald, Blumenwiesen, Sehenswürdigkeiten, Kultur, Naturschutzgebiete und vieles mehr. Man lernt außerdem alle - sehr unterschiedlichen - Teilorte der Stadt Mössingen kennen. An nur einem Tag allerdings sehr anspruchsvoll. Lässt sich aber problemlos aufteilen (siehe kostenlose Wanderkarte der Stadt). Weitere Infos: https://www.moessingen.de/Wandern#/article/f2d7e78a-8d31-11ee-b275-00163e2945d0)

    Bei morgentlichem Frühnebel im Herbst bei den Streuobstwiesen gestartet und oben bei der Olgahöhe die volle Sonnenbracht genossen. Traumhaft schöne Tour. Ab dem Hirschkopf an der Abbruchkante des Erdrutsches entlang bis zum absoluten Highlight des Dreifürstensteins. Sehr empfehlenswerte, abwechslungsreiche Tour

    Eine tolle Tour die oft durch den lichten Wald führt, perfekt für warme Tag. Der Bergrutsch ist beeindruckend, aber von unten sieht man nicht mehr so viel, auf dem Serpentinenweg nach oben sieht man ihn besser. An der Handkante entlang hat man immer wieder tolle Ausblicke und der Weg durch die Streuobstwiesen ist ein Träumchen. Mir hat die Tour sehr viel Spaß gemacht und sie ist perfekt ausgeschildert.
