Signpost of the HW 10

The Stromberg-Schwäbischer Wald-Weg is the main hiking trail 10 (HW 10) of the Swabian Alb Association . With a total length of 170 kilometers, it runs from Pforzheim via Marbach and Backnang to Lorch in the Remstal and crosses the Stromberg-Heuchelberg nature park and the southern Swabian-Franconian forest .

Route

The Stromberg-Schwäbischer Wald-Weg begins in Pforzheim -Kupferhammer at the same point where the three major hiking trails of the Black Forest Association ( Westweg , Mittelweg , Ostweg ) begin. Our path initially leads east in the Würm valley , but soon turns north and reaches the Enz near Illingen . Here you reach the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park, and continue to the northwest over the Eselsburg Tower to Sternenfels . Now the main hiking trail 10 bends sharply to the east and leads over the elongated ridge of the Stromberg . In Besigheim hikers reached the Neckar .

The hiking trail now runs through the Neckar basin , grazes Bietigheim-Bissingen and Freiberg and finally reaches Marbach. Here you cross the Neckar and continue east to Backnang. Continue in a south-easterly direction via Rudersberg , Urbach and Plüderhausen to the end point Lorch.
