    The Wolfbühl Loop is a leisurely hike around Gruibingen that takes in quiet forests, open plateaus, and beautiful viewpoints. The trail begins at the Talenwiesen and starts with a gentle ascent along nature trails toward the Häringer Steig. From there, sweeping views of the Alb foothills open up.

    On clear days, it’s worth taking a short detour to the Gruibinger Wiesle—a peaceful spot with a sense of vastness. There you’ll also find the “Jahrhundertstein,” an art project made of striking stone slabs that reflects the events of the 20th century through words carved into them. A peaceful place to pause

    and

    reflect

    .

    The trail runs mostly along natural paths, making it particularly pleasant to walk. It’s suitable for families, leisure hikers, and anyone looking for a short, scenic loop. You can stop for refreshments at the Boßlerhaus Nature Friends Lodge or—depending on its opening hours—the Weilheim Ski Lodge.

    Author’s recommendation

    • Century Stone

      To create a memorial to the 20th century—with all its human suffering, but also its great advances and achievements—was the task set for the artist. Uli Gsell from Kemnat has mastered this task brilliantly. One hundred meaningful terms from one hundred years reflect the spirit of the times and the history of the 20th century. Enjoy the tranquility and the view from Gruibing’s “Wiesle” and let yourself be inspired.

    Safety information

    The trail runs mostly along natural forest and meadow paths, some of which are narrow and slightly root-covered. It is not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs.

    When wet, some paths can be slippery and dangerous. Watch your step and use hiking poles for stability if necessary.

    Tips and suggestions

    Respectful Coexistence in the Göppingen District.

    Code of Conduct:

    • Respect trail closures and the quiet zones established in the recreational trail plan.
    • Leave no trace—such as trash or animal droppings—and treat the trails with care.
    • Be proactive and considerate. Adapt your behavior to the situation at hand. Safety comes first.
    • Respect other users of the woods and fields.
    • Be considerate of animals and plants.
    • Plan ahead and make the most of daylight. Try to avoid dawn and dusk.
    • Observe the ban on entering agricultural land during the growing season.
    • Stay on marked trails and avoid forest edges; this helps wildlife become more accustomed to people.

    Roadbook

    From the Talenwiesen parking lot, we first head up the Orgelessteige (the right-hand path as you go up the valley). After the first steep section, we keep to the left and follow the Wolfbühlweg. This path takes us past the privately owned Wolfbühlhaus and onto the Alb plateau. We follow the Häringer Steig to the lookout point by the power pole.
    We then walk about 250 meters along the gravel path. After that, we continue straight downhill, first along the edge of the forest, then through the forest. Before we reach open terrain again, we turn right toward the Weilheimer Skihütte, which is open on Sundays. We then walk back a short distance and finally descend via the Winterspreitsteige into the valley to the starting point of the hike.
