Swabian Alb

Premium Hiking Trails on the Alb Escarpment (Albtrauf)

Impressions of the hiking tour 'Swabian Alb'
The Swabian Alb is an attractive, high-altitude landscape in Baden-Württemberg. The steep, rugged high plateaus provide hikers with glorious views of the Zollernalbkreis.

The steep escarpment, known as the Albtrauf, separates the high plateau from the Alb foreland. The hikes on the Albtrauf are therefore called Traufgänge in German, and the hikers are Traufgänger.

Fixed quarter in Albstadt, the southwestern centre of the Swabian Alb, situated at an altitude of more than 700 m. Seven Premium Hiking Trails around Albstadt, which have all been granted a quality seal by the German Hiking Institute, can be hiked on professionally laid and marked trails – a natural, unique and unmistakeable Alb landscape.

All of the hikes are planned as circular routes and can be reached quite easily using public transport.
