    Sehr schöne ruhige Tour. Das Kaltental ist jetzt im Frühling sehr schön. Anreise von Esslingen über Metzingen nach Bad Urach. Zurück ab Neuffen mit "Dr Dälesboah" nach Nürtingen. Trotz Schienenersatzverkehr klappt das gut auch mit dem Deutschlandticket

    Überwiegend Pfade und schmale Wege, kann bei Nässe rutschig sein. Auf dem Rückweg haben wir die Hauptstraßen eher gemieden. Ein kleiner Abstecher zum relativ neuen Turm am Heidengraben ist möglich, lohnt sich aber leider kaum.

    Aussichtsreiche Runde, die überwiegend auf herrlichen Pfaden verläuft, knackige An- und Abstiege inklusive! Als Startpunkt bietet sich der Wanderparkplatz im Raupental an, der Aufstieg auf den Juisberg weicht dann leicht von diesem Track ab. Den Rückweg haben wir durch einen Abstecher zum Café Konditorei Peschke in Dettingen versüßt. Sehr empfehlenswert!
