A wonderful tour: From the Front Castle, through interesting chapels, cool caves, rustic forest paths, the defiant Gansnest tower and numerous viewing rocks to the happily rippling Danube water! And that with a good amount of altitude and warm hiking weather - a wonderful mix 😍!

September 24, 2024,Donautal - Runde nach Fridingen, Kohlbinger Höhle, Mühlheim, Maria Hilf Ruine, Knopfmacherfels

Today we did a great tour to the Kolbinger Cave, which was unfortunately closed 🙈, but there are some beautiful viewpoints there that are definitely worth it.

I think it's most beautiful just before Knopfmacherfels, the Siegelesfels... wonderful views of the Danube.
