Wegebeschaffenheit
Wegmarkierung
The trail starts at the top of the sports field on Moldenberg. First, follow the Albschäferweg trail to the Gehrenhütte hut. Then stroll comfortably through the forest before descending into the Täschental valley. Until 2008, this was the site of the Heidenheim Shepherd's Run. The beautiful heathland still delights nature lovers today. The trail then continues directly along the cliff face of the Moldenberg quarry. The quarry glows in the most beautiful colors, especially in the evening sun.
Autorentipp
The Hülben and the quarry biotope are worth seeing.
Wegbeschreibung
The circular trail is marked with a yellow ring. From the parking lot at the sports facilities, we follow the Albschäferweg (white shepherd on a blue background) northward into the forest, past the equipment of the fitness trail. Turn right onto a gravel path and then left. After about 300 m, we walk along the right side of the clearing, past the Jakobshülbe to the Gehrenhütte. Here we leave the Albschäferweg, keep to the right, and continue to follow the yellow ring hiking sign. Passing the Gehrenhülbe, after another stretch downhill in the forest, we reach the open Täschental valley. It is framed by beautiful juniper heaths. Down in the valley, we leave the tarred path and turn right towards the quarry. Below the quarry, we climb back up to the sports facilities.
Ausrüstung
Sturdy shoes, plenty of drinks, and a backpack lunch are recommended.
Sicherheitshinweise
Please bear in mind that you will be walking on mostly natural paths. Paths in the forest may be in poor condition due to forestry work. Please wear sturdy shoes.
Check the opening hours of the sports restaurant.
