Author's recommendation
One of the information poles is decorated with a new poem every year, so it's always updated. It's worth stopping by!
Directions
Hardly any of the small towns in Württemberg has been immortalised by important poets as often as Bad Urach. This special feature provided the opportunity to create the "Bad Uracher Poetry path".
The approx. four kilometer long trail starts and ends both at the Entdeckerwelt Touist Inof at Bad Urach train station, and at the P23 Maisental hiking car park. It leads along a total of 20 poetry stations. Bad Urach landscape forms an irresistible poetic subject matter, and Poets like Eduard Mörike, Gustav Schwab, Justinus Kerner and Johannes R. Becher, to name but a few, have succumbed to this attraction.
Equipment
Sturdy shoes, hiking poles and sure-footedness are recommended for this tour.
Safety information
Our circular tours are not walking, but hiking trails. Sturdy shoes, hiking poles and sure-footedness are recommended for all tours, particularly after and during rainfall and in the winter months, the limestone rock and soil can be very slippery, especially on slopes. We also point out the presence of natural forest hazards. We ask you to exercise caution.
In an emergency, always dial the number 112. If necessary, please mention that the people involved in the accident are in inaccessible terrain, so that the Bad Urach mountain rescue service is also informed and there is no unnecessary loss of time during the rescue.
On the hiking signposts of our trails, you will find a plaque with the exact location number on it. The location number consists of the letters BU and a max. 4-digit number. Communicating this number to the control centre in an emergency, helps to provide assistance faster.
Please note the current safety instructions.
