111 Steps to Obermarchtal Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The steps run through a small forest. So you don't just have steps, but beautiful greenery all around you. These lead directly into the monastery courtyard, from which one has a panoramic view of the Danube and the surrounding fields.

In front of the bridge over the Danube, you can take a nice shady break at the bottom of the water and enjoy the view on the water.

The Ghost Cave
The cave is also known as the Rechtenstein Cave, but the popular name is Ghost Cave. The 6 m high entrance portal opens to the south towards the Danube and offers a wonderful view over the valley. The cave has four parallel passages and branches. Inside the cave there are still some stalactites, some of which are weathered. Bone remains from cave bears and reindeer were found in the cave, but no tools from the Stone Age. It is therefore not certain that Stone Age hunters visited and used the cave. The reindeer bones do not yet prove the presence of humans, as the bone remains could also have been carried into the cave by animals.

Rechtenstein Castle is a former double castle in the village of Rechtenstein, whose origins date back to the 11th century. The von Stein men lived in one half, the von Rechtenstein men in the other half. From the bike path you have a great view over the Danube to the ruins.
