    Hiking

    The Wörnitz-Altwasser lies north-east of the Rolleberg and in summer is the nursery of many regionally occurring fish species that can optimally reproduce due to the standing water. The Wörnitz paves the way towards Donauwörth, where it finally flows into the Danube. It follows the same direction of flow in which Lake Ries drained after the impact. That is why people speak of Hoppingen, the "Pearl of the Ries", because the former lake ran out there.
