Discover the new anniversary trail in Baltmannsweiler!
The Swabian Alb Association of Baltmannsweiler has created a special highlight for hiking enthusiasts: a new hiking route was developed as part of the celebrations for the triple anniversary of the municipality of Baltmannsweiler and Hohengehren and the entire community. The route, which is around eight kilometers long, is called the “Jubiläumsweg” and is already very popular. It connects the two districts and leads past some of the most important sights.
Baltmannsweiler is celebrating 725 years this year, while Hohengehren looks back on 750 years of history. In addition, the 50th anniversary of the entire community is celebrated. The anniversary path not only leads past the cultural center in Baltmannsweiler, but also offers breathtaking views and leads past a future local history museum and other historical sights. It has been officially signposted since mid-May and aims to promote the togetherness of the two districts, like Esslinger Newspaper reported.
