Route description for section 9:
Our route description starts at the car park behind the railway underpass which is on the bypass road between the station and the junction leading into the spa area.

Look for the red triangle trail marker and follow the track uphill to the ridge. It's well worth taking a detour here to go up to the ruins that were once Hohenurach fortress. The route is marked by red arrows.

Hohenurach:
The origins of the castle and subsequent fortress can be traced back to the 11th century. Count Eberhard V, or Eberhard the Bearded, who founded the University of Tübingen, housed his mentally ill cousin in Hohenurach castle in 1490. From 1732 the castle was used as a source of stone for buildings in the surrounding area. The remaining walls, gateways and vaults are all that is left of its former glory. From the mighty castle ruins you can see Rutschenfelsen crags, Runder Berg (round hill, the Erms valley, Nägelesfelsen crags and, of course, the town of Bad Urach.
