Our certified quality Löwenpfad hiking trails take you through our beautiful Swabian landscapes with delightful panoramic views, fascinating nature, and mysterious places. With its sixteen loop trails with distances varying between 3 and 24 kilometres it provides routes for everyone.
The Löwenpfad trail "Weitblick-Tour" between Gingen and Geislingen an der Steige is a hiking loop trail certified by the German Hiking Association. The approximately 12.1-kilometer tour begins at the SC car park and first leads to the entrance to the Längental valley, the smallest of the five valleys in Geislingen an der Steige. We walk past idyllic allotment gardens to the Alb plateau. With Kuchalb, Maierhalde and Hohenstein, wonderful observation points await us there at an altitude of around 700 meters, which open up a fantastic view of the Albtrauf and the Voralb area all the way to Stuttgart.
We hike on a short section of the Albsteig before a narrow nature path leads us back from the Hohenstein observation point in Gingen to the Geislinger Tegelberg. A section of stage four of the Albtraufganger trail also runs here.

Author's recommendation
The highlight of the loop hiking trail is the several kilometres long, narrow trail from the Hohenstein viewing rock in Gingen to the panorama trail above Geislingen “am Tegelberg”. A beautiful atmosphere awaits us, especially when the sun is starting to set.
