Trail Reviews
A very beautiful tour that is particularly attractive in winter weather. Due to slippery conditions, caution is currently advised when descending from Bronnen Castle and crossing the Danube.
Today I did the Danube Waves premium hiking trail. Danube Valley is always great in autumn.
A varied tour. Strenuous, but always rewarded with fantastic views. 😊 The Jägerhaus is worth a rest, but the Knopfmacherfelsen restaurant is also recommended. We enjoyed an ice cream at the Vesperstube Ziegelhütte. There are only vending machines here, but there is a huge selection. 👍🏻We will definitely plan another tour around the Danube Valley soon. 🚶🚶🏼♀️😎
Today a great Komoot hike in the Danube Valley Top organized by our Patrick👍 saw a lot during the constant ups and downs 👍 and of course the obligatory EKS was also included at the end of the round🤗
We started at the Knopfmacherfelsen and wanted to save the view from there until the end. Unfortunately it started to rain when we got back to the car. It felt like it went back and forth and up and down forever ... But it was worth it. However, the tour without leaves on the trees is certainly even more worth seeing and with more views ...
DonauWelle 🌊 is always a great place to walk 🥾 / or eat 🍰 😋
A really nice round with the Albverein Meßkirch 👌
The seating options for a short break are very limited. What a pity.
