Hiking in the Swabian Alb

In addition to the unique hiking routes, the Swabian Alb region also stands for high-quality natural products and a high appreciation of the gifts of nature and the associated attention to sustainability. This is what the Swabian Alb biosphere reserve stands for. Discover the cultivation of wine and its historical significance for this town on a day trip to Metzingen. In addition to crazy rock formations, the landscape of the Swabian Alb is also characterized by numerous juniper heaths.

Only around 50 minutes by car from your hiking hotel Krone Tübingen is one of the most popular starting points for hikes in the Swabian Alb – the Traufgänge of Albstadt. Explore not only the incomparable nature but also the cultural history of Baden-Württemberg on seven excellent premium hiking trails, the so-called Traufgängen. In particular, the Zollernburg-Panorama Traufgang, which has been named the second most beautiful hiking trail in Germany, offers visitors an unforgettable 16 km day trip. Enjoy a fantastic view of Hohenzollern Castle and let your gaze wander into the distance on the Hangender Stein - a true natural monument on the hiking route. Or catch a glimpse of the distant Black Forest on your hike along the Felsenmeersteig – the longest of the Traufgänge – and observe the obscure rock formations in a dense forest area.
