Brenztopf (Source of the River Brenz)

Highlight • River

On the weekend, this place is sometimes very crowded, so it is recommended to visit the Brenzersprung during the week. The water is very clear. Has something mystical.

May 31, 2021, die brenz - fluss der zeit

The Brenz - from the mouth to the spring. Via the Möhntal and Härtsfeld back to Lauingen.

May 6, 2025, Von Lauingen zur Brenzquelle in Königsbronn - an der Brenz entlang durchs Eselsburgertal wieder zurück

The long loop initially runs along the embankment of the former Härtsfeld narrow-gauge railway, which ran from Dillingen am Donau to Aalen. Via Neresheim and Großkuchen, the route passes from the Egau Valley into the Brenz Valley. From the Brenztopf in Königsbronn, the route then follows the Brenz River, mostly on cycle paths, back to Lauingen. The passage through the Eselsburger Valley is particularly beautiful.
