Around the Lämmerbuckel

The circular route begins at the town hall in Wiesensteig, in the heart of the historic town center. The first section leads past the impressive collegiate church of St. Cyriakus, which forms the center of the small town. From there, it continues up to the Malakoff, the presumed site of the Benedictine monastery founded in 861. From this viewpoint, there is a beautiful view of the charming small town.

The path then goes under the imposing highway viaduct and over a trail to the famous rock needle "Steinerne Weib". Afterwards, it continues over the Pferchfeld towards Haus Lämmerbuckel. From there, it is only a few steps to the wind park in the Gewann Raller area. A picturesque forest path finally brings the hikers back to Wiesensteig. There, an idyllic scene awaits: the Wiesensteiger Tälbesbad located along the Fils river.

Wear sturdy, slip-resistant footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. A backpack with water, snacks, and a first aid kit is recommended.

Some paths can be slippery and dangerous when wet. Watch your step and use hiking poles for stability if needed.

Take RE 5 or MEX 16 to Göppingen or Geislingen. Then take bus line 981 from Göppingen or line 966 from Geislingen to "Wiesensteig Town Hall."
