Albsteig Wanderführer

<p>"Walking at a high level" is what the Albsteig offers in two respects: with magnificent panoramic views, it runs along the Albtrauf over the highest peaks of the Swabian Alb, the "region of 10 thousand". It has been awarded the title of "Quality Trail Hikeable Germany" and "Top Trail of Germany". The Rother Albsteig hiking guide presents this classic long-distance hiking trail in 27 rather short, family-friendly stages.</p><p>The Albsteig runs for an excellent 350 kilometers on comfortable, mostly natural paths from Donauwörth to Tuttlingen, past spectacular castles and palaces such as Teck Castle or Lichtenstein Castle. The romantic waterfall in Bad Urach and the Nebelhöhle cave with its wonderful stalactites are also well worth a visit. The individual stages can easily be combined into shorter or longer sections. This makes the Albsteig ideal for a long weekend or a comfy Sunday afternoon excursion.</p><p>The author Renate Florl provides all the important information for a successful long-distance hike as well as for day trips: a variety of accommodation, places to stop for refreshments and shopping, public transport connections for the stages, interesting facts about the sights along the way and much more. Each stage contains a reliable route description, a hiking map with a marked route and an informative elevation profile. GPS data is also available for download.</p>
