Little Lauter Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A pristine valley through which the Lauter River meanders idyllically. Little traffic, as the valley is a dead end for cars.

Bridge Over the Blau

Highlight • Bridge

Cycle and footpath bridge next to the tracks. Be careful, it is slippery when wet due to the wooden surface.

Path Along the River Blau

Highlight • Cycleway

Especially during the week a car-free, little-traveled route with excellent asphalt. Very popular on weekends and should therefore be avoided.

View of Rußenschloss

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is nice. The hike to the ruins in autumn with a view of the Blautal valley from above is even more beautiful.

Blautopf

Highlight • Lake

A much-sung place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring are always soothing and uplifting.

View of Blaubeuren

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you want to see Blaubeuren up above, you have to drive the special book climb. But well worth the effort, great views
