Hardtrunde (lang)

A large part of the route lies in the "Hardtlandschaft and Eberfinger Drumlinfeld" nature reserve. Strictly speaking, this applies to the entire route between the junction of the road to Dietlhofen a little east of Dietlhofers See via Rauhbühl to Gut Schörghof and on past Birkhof to above Deutenhausen. To the west of the Birkhof, it also runs a short distance through the Natura 2000 area "Eberfinger Drumlinfeld with Magnetsrieder Hardt and Bernrieder Filz". From above Deutenhausen, the landscape is dominated by extensive meadows and agricultural fields. The trail leads past the local beach in Weilheim and back to the idyllic Dietlhofer See lake, where you can round off the walk with a refreshing dip.

Author's tip: A trip to the adventure golf course on the way back is a great idea, especially for families with children! And a detour to Gut Dietlhofen with its farm store is also worthwhile!
