Gerberviertel (Tanners' Quarter) in Blaubeuren

Highlight • Historical Site

The half-timbered buildings and small bridges along the Achgasse are particularly beautiful to look at and offer one or the other beautiful photo motif. Away from the hustle and bustle at the Blautopf, mostly a quieter, almost idyllic atmosphere.

Blaubeuren Steige Cycle Path and Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The unofficial cycle path to Blaubeuren along the Blaubeuren Steige has been remade and freshly paved. The rides great now, even if some passages are pretty steep
