Hohenzollerischer Jakobusweg - Etappe 1 - von Hechingen nach Burladingen

The first stage of the Hohenzollern Way of St. James leads from Hechingen through the deeply incised, charming Starzel valley to Burladingen. Only from Killer up to Ringingen is there a larger incline to contend with, although this can also be bypassed along an alternative route.
