ヴィンターリンゲンの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

Important: The restaurant's closing times weren't up to date on their website. We specifically chose a day when they were open and discovered they were closed. Too bad. The Ochsenberg tour was still fantastic.

House description The Naturfreundehaus »Donautal« is secluded on the left edge of the Danube valley, above Neidingen and 20 minutes from the well-known Schaufelsen group. This hiking and cycling trail follows the Danube to Passau. There is a lot to discover along the first stage of this trail, from Donaueschingen, the source of the Danube, to Sigmaringen. On the one hand, you follow the Danube on its first »steps« to Immendingen, where it disappears, but »recovers« again near Immendingen and breaks through the Jurassic rock. There are many viewpoints along the way, as well as old castles and castle ruins as well as monasteries. At the end of the first stage in Sigmaringen is the castle of a branch of the Hohenzollern family, which is open all year round. But the Danube valley edge trail is not the only option here. There are many hiking and cycling trails around Stetten am kalten Markt, where you can explore the surrounding area or go on day trips to Lake Constance or directly to the Swabian Alb. The new Natura Trail "The Upper Danube Valley" is available.

Very nice mountain restaurant with a parking lot for hikers. You can start the Ochsenberg tour from here. The path is signposted in both directions. And after the hike, the restaurant is right next door.

Nice barbecue area right next to the shelter. This place is in the forest and does not offer any direct views.

Ingenious rest area with a fantastically beautiful view of the Danube valley
