Grünenbergroundroute

The circular route begins at the retention basin and leads along the heaps towards Gingen. Through the new underpass of the B 10, you pass the natural monument Sarenwang, which, with its wet meadows, represents a valuable biotope. Before reaching the forest, you can still enjoy the beautiful view back from Hohenstaufen over Staufeneck to Messelberg. The ascent in the forest impresses with magnificent fern fields and rock formations of the Brown Jura. At the end of the forest, on the height, lies the interesting wet biotope "Turm", which has developed in a former clay pit. The circular route continues towards Grünenberg and shortly before, it goes downhill to the right through a gorge forest with a viewpoint in Sarenwang. At the end of the forest, a wide panoramic view opens over the Filstal and the surrounding mountains. Across a hilly meadow landscape and past Prinzinghof, you reach the starting point again.

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

When wet, some paths can be slippery and dangerous. Watch your step and use hiking poles for stability if necessary.

Take MEX 16 from Stuttgart or Ulm to Süßen station. The starting point is reached after about a 20-minute walk.
