Hiking Tour to Hohenneuffen Castle

The hike will start in the Neuffen area and end in Metzingen. The route is approximately 20 km long, classified as easy to moderate.
We'll begin by hiking toward "Burg Hohenneuffen", a medieval castle with free public access, regular events, and a restaurant with a beer garden. We'll take our first break here to enjoy the views (and possibly some local music if we're lucky). After passing scenic spots such as the volcanic pond Molachsee, we'll reach a beautiful lookout point called “Die Brille.” The hike continues through the nature reserves Goldland-Klausenberg and Neuffener Hörnle-Jusenberg, finishing with a walk through the famous vineyards of the Metzingen area.

DATE:
October 20, 2024 at 8.45 a.m.
Depending on the group's pace and weather conditions, we expect to return to Tübingen around 6 PM.
