June 19, 2022,Eichfelsen Panorama - Tour ab WP Kloster Beuron 19.06.22

The tour is a premium hiking trail of the "Donauwellen" and is accordingly well signposted. Varied, leisurely round with some crisp ascents and descents. Beautiful views of the Danube valley, including from Eichfelsen, Spaltfels and Rauher Stein, were definitely worth the effort. Most of the tour took place in the shade, so the heat was bearable.
