Heidenheimer Brenzregion

Die Heidenheimer Brenzregion, im Nordosten der Schwäbischen Alb

Urzeit, Eiszeit und viel Kultur – Die Heidenheimer Brenzregion lässt nicht nur die Herzen leidenschaftlicher Wanderer und Radfahrer höher schlagen; auch Kulturbegeistere kommen an der Brenz voll auf ihre Kosten. Im östlichen Teil der Schwäbischen Alb machen Fluss- und Trockentäler, herrliche Wacholderheiden und tiefe Buchenwälder gespickt mit bizarren Felsen die vielseitige Landschaft aus.
