From the Naturtheater car park, we pass the theatre on the right. Follow the Wildparkweg for about 1 km and pass the enclosures with sika deer, wild boar, red deer, fallow deer, etc. After the Hermann rock, we turn right and walk past a pond into the Ugen valley. Our path leads left along the valley floor for about 1 km, then left up the Arphalde to the settlement of Reutenen. We cross the settlement to the north and then turn left into Heerackerweg. We hike back to the starting point via the sports fields, the Albstadion and the Wildpark. Not far away, Hellenstein Castle is worth a visit.
The castle was built between 1130 and 1145 - today it is in ruins. The castle was built between 1595 and 1611 according to designs by Heinrich Schickhardt.
