Cross-country ski trails, cycling starting point and views
The Berghau cross-country ski trail leads from the multi-purpose hall in Erkenbrechtsweiler into an extensive network of trails between Hülben, Grabenstetten and Erkenbrechtsweiler. The trail is a seasonal offering; whether it can be used depends on conditions. If you are planning an outing around it, take these conditions into account. A bike tour can begin behind the town hall. The two options have different starting points: the ski trail is part of a network linking three towns, while the bike tour has a named starting point in the town. This can help you decide which kind of activity better suits your planned stay.
The Heidengrabenzentrum in Erkenbrechtsweiler is wheelchair-accessible and designed to be accessible. These features offer a practical point of reference if accessibility is a consideration when planning your outings. The centre complements the sporting options with a different focus, allowing you to take different interests into account when planning your day.
The Hohenneuffen Castle ruins are located near the destination. They offer 360-degree views across the Swabian Alb and its foothills. This means that, alongside the trail network and cycling starting point, there is also a nearby viewpoint to choose from. If you would rather make the view the focus of an outing, you can compare it with the activities in town.
