Motzabach Riverside Trail

Highlight • Trail

The stroller-friendly hiking trail is easy to walk. A highlight for families with children, as the Motzabach stream runs along the entire length of the trail. Children can play in it or float boats.

Geological Organs (Nagelfluh rock formations)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Geological organs are vertical cavities formed by the weathering of soft, fine-grained material. This happened during the Günz glaciation around 600,000 years ago. An information board tells you more about the natural phenomenon.

May 8, 2024,Kneipp-Bad – Geologische Orgeln Runde von Brüchlins

Unfortunately, the tour to the geological organs is closed. We climbed over the barriers but I saw us in the newspaper. Tourists fell. 🫣

You can be outside even when it's raining...
The route is a lovely up and down around Ottobeuren, with varying path conditions.
Unfortunately, no view today due to the weather. It was still very nice.
And the end with cream puffs was very tasty 😋.

I don't usually travel in the area, but now KISS made me aware of it. And since I have visitors from the north, it made sense. This levada path is really nicely laid out.

October 4, 2022,Bendediktinerabtei Ottobeuren, Sebastian Kneipp und die Geologische Orgeln

We decided on a short trip at relatively short notice and since the selection of hotels was more than limited, we ended up in Oberostendorf in the Ostallgäu. On the way there, of course, a lap had to be run - the choice fell on Ottobeuren in the Unterallgäu. I had cobbled together a tour beforehand and purposely put the …

October 4, 2022,Ottobeuren Kneipp-Wanderweg und Benediktinerabtei

On the way to our Allgäu holiday, we first did a lap around Ottobeuren. Luckily only a short lap, as my drive was still quite damaged from yesterday's half marathon.
The Kneipp hiking trail is highly recommended, as is the Kneipp Active Park.
But all that is nothing more when you stand in the beautiful and unique magnificent basilica of …
