A charming little town in the heart of the Ostalbkreis district, Waldstetten is a real insider's tip for all those looking for a special destination off the beaten track. The community is nestled in a picturesque landscape between the hills of the Swabian Forest and the gentle vineyards of the region.

The historic centre of Waldstetten with its lovingly restored half-timbered houses and narrow alleys is particularly worth seeing. Here you will also find numerous cosy cafés and restaurants serving regional specialities such as Maultaschen or Spätzle.

An absolute highlight for those interested in culture is the local history museum "Haus Lindenhof", which provides an exciting insight into the history of the region. The Maria Hilf pilgrimage church and Fachsenfeld Castle are also definitely worth a visit.

For those who like to be active, Waldstetten is also the place to be: In the summer, hikes through the idyllic nature around the village or bicycle tours along the Kocher river are a must. In the winter months, there is also skiing at the nearby Hohenstaufen.

Even when the weather is bad, you don't have to miss out on activities in Waldstetten: The indoor swimming pool ensures bathing fun at any time of year and you can enjoy the latest blockbusters at the local cinema.

Total: If you are looking for variety and relaxation, Waldstetten is just the right place. The idyllic location, the cultural highlights and the numerous outdoor activities make the place an absolute travel tip - a real jewel in the heart of Germany!

    Der Weg ist bestens ausgeschildert und gepflegt. Herrliche Ausblicke. Zweifellos eine der schönsten Touren dieser Gegend. Das Franz Keller Haus hat moderate Preise und an allen schulfreien Tagen geöffnet - außer an den Weihnachtsfeiertagen.

    Diese Tour hat sich das Prädikat "Traumtour" redlich verdient! Tolle Ausblicke - heute mit super Fernsicht, gut gepflegte Wege, Kultur, eine PERFEKTE Beschilderung (wer sich hier verläuft, der findet auch zu Hause nicht vom Bad in die Küche ;-))), und nette Einkehrmöglichkeiten (u.a. Franz Keller Haus auf dem Kalten Feld) entlang des Weges!

    Sehr schöne Tour mit tollem Ausblick. Von Schurrenhof bis Wißgoldingen auf befahrene Straßen zu laufen war nicht das schönste! Asphaltanteil ist sehr hoch. Die Schleife von Stuifen nach Rechberg ist nicht nötig! 2,5 Km Umweg nur um Hm schruppen.

    Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen: Viele schöne Ausblicke, angenehme Wegführung mit nicht ganz so viel Asphalt und dazu noch Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Als Hinweis möchten wir noch anfügen, dass die Schleife südlich der Kreuzberghütte aus Wildtierschutzgründen nicht mehr begangen werden soll (siehe Foto). Die Schleife einfach wegzulassen stellt aber kein Problem dar.

    Premium! Das Panorama des Tals vom Eierberg ist toll. Degenfeld lädt mit einer römischen Villa und der Skisprungschanze zum erkunden ein. Ab dem Galgenbergkreuz sollte man schwindelfrei sein, sonst macht man eher eine Höhenexpositionstherapie. Habe am kalten Feld einmal die Wegmarkierung verpasst, sonst gut ausgeschildert. Alles in allem eine sportliche, aber lohnenswerte Tour.

    Solide Tour. Habe sie an einem Tag gelaufen, wäre mit einem Kinderwagen wohl nur äußerst schwierig zu bewältigen. ;) Der Abschnitt Schurrenhof bis kurz vor Strietmühle ist im Vergleich zum Rest der Strecke landschaftlich dürftig und leider ziemlich befahren gewesen. Der Stuifen lohnt sich im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden Kaiserbergen nicht wirklich.

    Schöne Kurzwanderung mit Blick auf Rechberg und Stuifen. Einige tierische Wegbegleiter. Wenn man zügig geht schafft man die Strecke in 1 h 10 Min.
