ボイロンの湖・トップ8

I have to be a bit of a smart-ass here: The pictures show the Wulfbach stream, which still flows into the Danube here, as well as the cycle path along it. But the truth is: It's incredibly beautiful and unspoiled here.

Here the Young Danube is embedded between meadows, marshland and bushes

Gardens Prince's Garden Bahnhofstraße 2/2, 72488 Sigmaringen The Prince's Garden was designed in the mid-19th century by Hereditary Prince Leopold as a hereditary park, primarily in the English style. The formerly larger park between Karlstraße and the banks of the Danube was reserved for the Princely Family and served as a place of recreation and representation. Since 1974, the Prince's Garden has been open to the public and is used as a local recreation area within the city. As part of a joint project between the Princely House, the city, and the State Office for Monument Preservation, the historic sightlines in the park leading to the palace and the Prince's Building were cleared in March and October 2007. Additional green spaces were created, and the trees were reforested. Source: https://www.oberschwaben-tourismus.de/attraktionen/prinzengarten-600cd3e7f9

The Prinzengarten, laid out as a landscape garden in the 1870s, was the park belonging to the Princely Hohenzollern City Palace, the Prinzenbau. It was surrounded to the west by a wall, the so-called Au Wall, and the Prinzenbau complex, to the south and east by a fence, and to the north by the Princely Riding Stables, now called the Marstall. Its use remained reserved exclusively for the Princely Family until 1974. An exception, however, were the last weeks before the end of World War II. As the front lines approached, many French people, especially French workers from the border regions of the Reich, but also Russian and Polish foreign workers, fled to Sigmaringen to seek safety or to escape from there by train. Soldiers increasingly joined the ranks of these people. However, because of the low-flying aircraft, trains only ran in the morning and evening, and staying directly at the station during the day was too dangerous, many of the refugees bridged their delay until their onward journey at Mühlberg, Josefsberg, or Buchhalde. This was possible because the spring of 1945 was very early and also exceptionally mild. ..... Source: https://www.erinnerungsort-sigmaringen.de/stationen/30-prinzengarten

A biotope at Wulfdach.

There is a point here where the descent is a bit steeper. Good shoes are an absolute advantage here, especially when it's wet. You have to be careful there
