"Hegauer Kegelspiel" Albertine Steig

The hiking trail begins at the main entrance at the Albertine Steig parking lot at the foot of the Schienerberg. After crossing the gravel service road, the premium hiking trail leads opposite into the forest. It soon leaves the forest again and turns right onto the Heerenweg. After a longer stretch through open fields, the path passes a field cross and then turns right onto the second path towards Schienerberg. At the edge of the forest, turn right again onto a meadow path to the start of the Stationsweg. From there, the Stationsweg leads up to the Schienerberg. After the long ascent, the hike becomes a rather relaxing walk on the Schienerberg plateau. At Bühlarzhof and Brandhof, the border to Switzerland is crossed. After passing Unterwald, there is a shorter section through the forest again. In Oberwald, a small inn invites you to take a break. The path continues along the border to the edge of the forest. There, the path turns uphill to the right. Over the Hirschenbrünneli, the path leads to the Chroobachhütte. Here, a panorama of Hegau of special beauty opens up. The path now continues eastwards on the Firstweg to the Herrentisch. As at the Chroobachhütte, a barbecue area also invites you to take a longer break there. Here again, the Hegau shows itself at its best. Like a string of pearls, the Hegau volcanoes present themselves up to the Hegaublick. The further course of the path directly on the border alternates several times between Germany and Switzerland. The next intermediate destination is Maria Tann. There, too, a seating area invites you to rest. From Maria Tann, the hiking trail now runs downhill to the forest edge and back to the starting point of the path, to the Albertine Steig parking lot.

Please keep an eye on your children on the section between Herrentisch and Maria Tann. There you will encounter a steeply sloping mountainside.

Access via Bohlingen on the Heerenweg towards Hittisheim to the Albertine-Steig hiking parking lot.

Access to the parking lot at Naturbad Aachtal in Worblingen. About 1.5 km access path to the start point.

By various bus lines to the stop Bohlingen Rathaus or possibly to the Ledergasse stop (not served by all lines). From the Rathaus bus stop, walk along Bohlinger Dorfstraße towards Aach. Cross it and continue straight ahead until you reach the Fabrikstraße intersection. From here, follow the signs "to the Stationsweg" and after about 1 km you will reach the signs for the Albertine Steig.

Free parking at the start point Albertine-Steig hiking parking lot.

Additional free parking at Naturbad Aachtal in Worblingen (approx. 1.5 km walk to the start point).

Attention; you are moving in the border area to Switzerland and partially in Switzerland. Please be aware that your mobile phone may connect to the Swiss network via roaming, which can lead to significant costs as Switzerland is not an EU country.

For relaxed break options, the Hofgut Oberwald is recommended (observe opening hours!).

Alternatively, hikers can enjoy their own snack on several benches along the path or take longer breaks at the Chroobachhütte barbecue area.
