Selected alternatives for you
    At the edge of the Swabian Canyon, high above the Danube, there is a world of rocks and viewpoints that offer a fascinating distant view of the valley of the young Danube.

    The exploration route shows you not only the northern edge of the Danube breakthrough with the well-known viewpoints Eichfelsen, Rauher Stein and Spaltfels/Burg Spaltfels, but also the features of the opposite valley side with Wildenstein Castle and furthermore allows a bird’s eye view of Beuron Monastery. The high plateau near Irndorf is also not forgotten. By the way, Eichfelsen is the namesake for the premium hiking trail "DonauWelle Eichfelsen-Panorama".

    From Beuron, two more hikes start, which partly follow the Danube, give access to the water and explore the opposite side of the valley:

    Beuron - Through the Danube Canyon from the monastery to the picturesque Wildenstein Castle
