Nagelfluh Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Lots of deciduous forest, mainly beeches. Especially attractive in spring, as long as the trees are not yet covered with leaves and the sun shines in.

The trail begins at the parking lot in front of the bridge over the Iller River near Unterau. We walk to the left of the river towards Altusried and at the first fork in the path we continue straight ahead through the beech forest uphill to the climbing rocks at Bock. The forest ends before the Maierhöfe farms. Above the …

After a mysterious fog journey in the early hours of the morning, we reached the home of Anneliese and Macharius. We start in the Au an der Iller. We soon reach the adventurous Bock, with its Nagelfluh rocks. After the short climb you will soon reach the summit at 781 m😊🤩🤩. It goes up and down through unspoiled nature to …

Great cozy round without obstacles through a beautiful landscape. Great views of the Iller and wild, romantic beech forests and streams along the entire route. The paths are all wide and well developed on the entire circuit. Only a short distance at the Unterau bridge has to be covered on a car road.
An inspection is possible all year round.

Since the weather left last Sunday, I went on the tour today. it is a demanding hike, especially the first resting bench only comes after 7.5 km. Towards the end of the tour there are more benches but it is also quite steep to the top. The tour is especially beautiful in autumn when the leaves of the trees change …

Already the ninth round of my Iller hikes...

And the further I get towards Allgäu, the more beautiful the landscape becomes 🥰

Once again, the weather was fantastically sunny and we set off from Unterau. The first section is forest and meadow paths with one or two farms in between. Now you come to the Kaldenbachtobel, which really blew me …
