Der Aussichtspunkt Knopfmacherfelsen überragt das Donautal um 150 Meter. Schön ist der Blick hinab zum Jägerhaus und zur Burg Bronnen und talauswärts zum Kloster Beuron. Der Name geht der Sage nach auf den Knopfmacher Fidelis Martin zurück, der hier einst vom Hardtfräulein in den Abgrund gelockt wurde. Im nahen Restaurant bietet sich Gelegenheit zur Rast.
