The "Kaltes Feld Weg" was originally just a dream that finally made it to the "Dream Tour" in 2019 as part of the Remstal Garden Show! The quality hiking trail awarded by the German Hiking Association deserves to reach the top of the German hiking trails - after all, it allows you to touch the sky with your heart and root yourself deeper into the earth with passion in your legs. However, there is one prerequisite for this: right at the Furtlepaß hiking parking lot, hikers can leave one thing behind - their minds! From now on, it's all about the senses. First of all, open your eyes to the unique beauty of the Kaltes Feld nature reserve with Hornberg, Galgenberg and Eierberg and to the impressive views that touch our innermost being between heaven and earth The "Dreikaiserberge-Blick" viewpoint offers a view of an enchanting and soul-opening landscape, which is characterized by the silhouette of the three witness mountains Stuifen, Rechberg and Hohenstaufen. But the view over the entire Albtrauf at the summit cross of the Galgenberg is also an unforgettable experience.
However, the wild south has not only produced a picture-book landscape, but also people who are happy to welcome all hikers with their open-hearted, fun-loving, creative and hospitable nature.
Of course, it is not enough just to open your eyes. You can hear the wind whistling in your ears on the Kalten Feld, the highest elevation in the Ostalb, and you may also hear goats coldly nagging at hikers in the middle of a juniper heath on the steep Zillersteig trail. However, the peace and quiet of the rural and idyllic Gmünd district of Degenfeld with a view of the ski jumps makes up for this. If you want to take off, this is the place to do it!
Our mouths open wide in amazement when the gliders soar into the air on the Hornberg - as if they want to take us with them, high up, to take a look at the distance they have covered. Perhaps also to see the world - free as a bird - from a different perspective.
Of course, the culinary delights are not neglected either. The Knörzerhaus and the rustic Franz-Keller-Haus ensure this. The famous cold field tea is made here with hand-picked herbs, the scents of which enchant you along the way.
One thing is certain: this dream tour can only warm the hearts of all hiking fans!
