Pfähler Valley and Falkensteiner Cave

We start from parking lot P 15 on Neuffener Street heading towards Hülben. After about 250 m, we follow cycle path R 14 into Ostend Street. Through the Elsach settlement, we stay on the cycle path, past the campsite into the forest. At the junction R 14-Hülben we leave the cycle path and continue straight ahead to the Kohlteich pond; from there our path leads gently downhill to the left. After about 750 m, the path turns sharply right past the Kaltental house to the Kaltental pond. After leaving the pond behind, we turn left at the next junction and again left at the horse farm until the main road. We travel on this road to the left. After the hiking parking lot we turn right into Büchelbronner Street to the shelter, keep left until we reach the road again. Turning right, we stay briefly on the road and after about 250 m turn right again into the forest towards the Falkensteiner Cave. The path becomes a bit bumpy shortly before the cave, and we leave our bikes to walk up to the cave. Back at the bikes, we take the right path to the parking lot and turn left onto the main road. The first opportunity to turn right leads us back into the forest, again past the campsite towards Bad Urach and our parking lot.
