Maps and trails
Eschach is known for its idyllic hiking trails that lead through breathtaking nature. The "Rosenstein-Rundweg" and the "Albsteig" are particularly recommended. Both trails offer magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

But there is much more to discover! The historic old town of Eschach invites you to stroll around. Here you will find traditional half-timbered houses and cosy cafés where you can relax.

Cultural highlights include the local history museum and Fachsenfeld Castle, which is now used as an art and cultural centre. The annual castle festival is also worth a visit.

For culinary delights, you should definitely try the regional specialities - such as Maultaschen or Spätzle with lentils. These dishes are often accompanied by a cool beer from one of the many breweries in the region.

If it rains, there are still plenty of activities to do: visit the indoor playground, for example, or treat yourself to a massage at the wellness centre.

In summer, a trip to the nearby Härtsfeldsee reservoir is particularly suitable for swimming or boating. In winter, on the other hand, the skiing area at Hohenstaufen beckons.

Eschach is worth a trip at any time of year. Discover the beauty of this region and let yourself be enchanted by the hospitality of the locals. We hope that our Travel Guide will help you with your planning and wish you an unforgettable stay in Eschach!

    Tolle Tour durch die schwäbische Alb. Ein längerer Anstieg ab Rötenbach mit dem E-Bike kein Problem.

    Nach dem Rehnenmühlen Stausee geht es ein gutes Stück an der Straße entlang. Sie ist nicht viel befahren allerdings ist dieser Wegabschnitt nicht so toll. Kurz vor Striethof kommt ein Weg den man auf Grund von Privatbesitz nicht betreten darf. Wir haben uns dann bergauf quer durch den Wald gekämpft... Ansonsten: so toller mit Moos bewachsener Wald. Kaum Menschen... einfach herrlich!!!

    Eine sehr reizvolle und landschaftlich extrem abwechslungsreiche Tour - absolut empfehlenswert. Aber....es ist keine leichte Tour! Neben den Steigungen, die eine gute Grundkondition verlangen, sind vor allem die Abfahrten auf Schotter und in den Wäldern anspruchsvoll und für Ungeübte sehr anstrngend - technisch. Wir sind am Busbahnhof Abtsgmünd gestartet, es ist nicht empfehlenswert, die Richtung der Runde zu ändern!!
