From the hiking car park and the observation tower at the Schwanner Warte, you can already enjoy the fantastic view at the start of the hike. The hike then continues through the shady forest until we reach the detour to the Straubenhardt ruin, of which only wall remains are left. An information board is available. Now we continue hiking to the Herzogswiesen nature reserve, where we turn left onto the Westweg. We follow this until a narrow path leads us to the right to the Hartberghütte. We cross the Axtbach valley and walk back to the forest edge, where we again have a great view. At the end of the hike, there are also refreshment options available here.
Author’s recommendation
If you only want to do a short hike, you can return from the main signpost Herzogswiesen back to the starting point (also possible with a stroller!).
