Published on Leave a comment on One stage of Schwarzwald-Schwäbische-Alb-Allgäu-Weg HW 5 – Herrenberg to Unterjesingen

GPS GPS: gpx | google maps

Not far from our home is the HW5 hiking trail which goes form Pforzheim to the Allgäu. On this sunny Saturday we decided to hike one stage of this trail - from Herrenberg to Unterjesingen. This stage was supposed to be a "panorama" trail with great views into the Ammertal. Basically this is true - there are places from where we had a great view - however about 13km of the in total 21km long trail we just walked through the Nature Reserve Schönbuch forest without having a wide view. This part of the trail was quite boring compared to our regular trips through the Alps. Anyway, it was ok for a day trip which was just round the corner.

Not far from Herrenberg we arrived at the Herrenberg Waldseilgarten which is a kind of high rope course. Up to here it was a very nice path. The next kilometers were more or less in the forest. The last two kilometers before we arrived at Hohenentringen Castle were quite nice again. From here we had a very nice view down to the valley. The Hohenentringen Castle was a very nice place where we had something to drink and a piece of apple pie. After about 20km walking we really enjoyed sitting in the sun. After a long break we walked down to Unterjesingen from where we took the Ammertalbahn back to Herrenberg.

We spent this weekend near Cologne. The weather was very cloudy, so it was a good day to spend some time bouldering in the climbing hall Chimpanzodrome in Frechen.

The climbing hall is very nice, it is not so crowded as the climbing halls in Stuttgart and has a good atmosphere.

This was our first trip to Mallorca. We composed a video which gives some impressions of this manifold island. At the office we sometimes take a short break to watch it 🙂 - imagining being back at this nice place. We will definitely come back!

Today we made use of the good weather and decided to take a day off. We took our bikes and cycled to the climbing crag in Stetten. It is quite small but very nice and top rope climbing is also possible. The wall is approximately 8-10m high, but has routes in all grades. It is nicely situated in the vineyards. This link provides more information.

Published on Leave a comment on Mallorca – Walking on the beach – Es Trenc

Es Trenc is an about 5 km long beach in the south of Mallorca. The white sand and the cyan water create a magic atmosphere of pure holiday and rest. Especially in the warm months Es Trenc seems to be a popular place for tourists - at least according to the big number of available parking lots (~6€ per day!). We have been there in the low season - hence there were only a few other people around. For those who don't want to just lie in the white sand the beach offers a great opportunity for taking a walk. Further information can be found here.
