    Hiking

    As Klötzle Blei, on the one hand, the butcher's rock in the city and, on the other hand, a lead cube attached to this mountain. The term is known from the tongue twister: ’s leit a Kletzle lead at Blaubeira - same at Blaubeira lead a Kletzle lead (see Eduard Mörike's Stuttgarter Hutzelmännchen, story of the beautiful Lau).

    Wonderful view of Blaubeuren.
    The deep blue Blautopf also inspired Eduard Mörike to write his “Stuttgarter Hutzelmännlein” – written in Swabian dialect with a tongue twister: “There’s a little piece of lead right near Blaubeura, there’s a little piece of lead right near Blaubeura.” In it he also tells of the beautiful Lau, a cross between a human woman and a water nymph, who was banished to the Blautopf by her husband because she couldn’t laugh and only bore him dead children.

    Nice to look at from below. But there is also a beautiful path up and on over the Rücken, with the Ach on one side and the Blau on the other.
