    Tips

    Before the Danube and Rhine existed, the Lone River was the sole drainage of the entire region and a raging torrent that created this valley. When the first humans arrived here 40,000 years ago, the Danube and Rhine already existed, and the Lone had shrunk to a small stream. Herds of animals migrated along the valley to the plateaus when there were too many mosquitoes near the water during the short, hot summers. Hunters only had to stand on the edge at the right moment and throw their spears. Today, the Lone is a barely visible trickle in the still beautiful valley.

      The "Lonetal" is located in the district of Heidenheim, Baden-Württemberg
      - a very beautiful valley with several natural caves (partly freely accessible)
      - it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage (UNESCO Global Geopark Schwäbische Alb)
      - the Lone Valley is known for its remarkable excavations (e.g. the "Lion Man" (human-animal figure))

        A beautiful valley, the Lone can hardly be called a river anymore, but this is the perfect hiking spot, especially with children. However, I would classify it more as a place for (family) walks.
