    Safety information

    • Please pay special attention to your safety when crossing roads
    • Although the paths are consistently well marked, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable hiking map, so that, for example, you can quickly find a safe area in case of a thunderstorm or emergency.
    • Due to poor path conditions, two detours are currently signposted.

    Tips and suggestions

    Further information about the hike can be found at the Gäuhalle in Altdorf, at the community center (DGH) in Böbingen, and at the Frimarhalle in Freimersheim.

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot at the Gäuhalle, the path leads past the sports field and the Altdorf Castle church towards Böbingen. Here is the first rest stop at the volleyball court. The path continues through the village, past the churches to the community center (DGH). Follow the trail markings along the main street to Hirtenstraße. Here turn right to the rest area at Lachgraben. From the rest area at Lachgraben, continue past the Gäu school to the next rest area at Fliegergrab. The last part of the Gäuwiesenweg leads past the PWV hut "Schmieds Kurt soi Haisel" and through Altdorf back to the Gäuhalle.

    There are dining options in Altdorf at "Rewehäsl" (Hauptstr. 11) and in Böbingen at the Pfaffmann winery on the main street.
