ハイデンハイム・アン・デア・ブレンツの天然記念物・トップ20

The absolute highlight of our tour this year!!! Idyllic nature, a very easy bike path, and plenty of rest stops (especially at the Biotal farm shop & cafe in Eselsburg).

The sunlight turns the water turquoise... No wonder, the water is very fresh and the pot is not as deep as the Blautopf. Very nicely laid out and well explained on boards.

Absolutely recommended. You can also eat something and drink coffee there.

The rock formations are impressive and highly recommended. But be careful, there is a road leading through the valley. It is a direct connection from Eselsburg to Herbrechtingen and is driven on the right. It's a little quieter on the small hiking trail parallel to the road, on the other side of the floodplain.

The Brenztopf (source of the Brenz) is an absolute highlight on every tour. The previous speakers/writers have already mentioned the most important things. The Brenz finally flows into the Danube, which is known to flow into the Black Sea. The Kocher has its source a few km to the north. This flows into the Neckar, which in turn flows into the Rhine and thus into the North Sea.

Very beautiful rocky landscape and untouched nature

At the foot of the path are the two stone virgins. A popular photo motif.

The Eselsburger Tal forms a section of the Brenz. The river flows from the Anhausen monastery near Herbrechtingen in a loop of the sharply narrowing valley around the "Buigen" ridge. First, the Brenz runs about three kilometers from Anhausen in a southerly and south-easterly direction,[1] past Bindstein Castle and Falkenstein Castle (Municipality of Gerstetten), after a hairpin bend in the district of Eselsburg (Herbrechtingen) it heads north to Herbrechtingen, where the Brenz turns sharply to the east. The Eselsburg valley is primarily known for its natural beauty; the most famous of these are the “Stone Maidens”. The Spitzbuben Cave is located at the southernmost point of the valley.
