Buch path

From the "Höhenblick" car park, the circular hiking route leads directly to the picturesque Buch plateau. From the open space at Sommerhalde, there is a unique view of the village of Mühlhausen as well as the ramp of the A8 motorway. Located at Sommerberg is also the Hutewald with a beautiful juniper heath that significantly shapes and reflects the landscape at the Albtrauf. With open meadows and hedgerows on the Buch plateau, the route then returns. Towards Sterneck in Wiesensteig, you pass the impressive structures of the new Wendlingen-Ulm railway line. Just above the Buch portal, there are impressive views of the railway tunnels and both Filstal bridges.

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

Some paths can be slippery and dangerous when wet. Watch your step and use hiking sticks for stability if necessary.

Via the A8, exit Mühlhausen im Täle.

Take RE 5 or MEX 16 to Göppingen or Geislingen. Then take bus line 981 from Göppingen or line 966 from Geislingen to Mühlhausen im Täle to the stop "Kirche".

Code of Conduct:

Respect path closures and the quiet zones developed in the recreational trail concept. Leave no traces such as litter or animal droppings; treat your path gently. Act proactively and considerately. Adapt your behavior to the situation. Safety first. Respect other users of the forest and fields. Show consideration for animals and plants. Plan ahead and use daylight. Avoid dawn and dusk times. Observe the trespassing ban on agricultural land during the growing season. Stay on designated paths and avoid forest edges so wild animals can better get used to humans.
