A much sung about place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring always have a beneficial and invigorating effect.

Nice tour. Not too strenuous, but at least for the part around the Rusenschloß, light hiking boots are recommended. Sometimes the GPS signal was not good, which sometimes leads to difficulties.

November 3, 2024,Blaubeuren und Rusenschloss

A walk around Blaubeuren always has its charm. Especially in autumn, when the beech leaves glow red and yellow. Unfortunately, it would have looked even better with sunshine - but the main thing is that it doesn't rain. This could be dangerous if the leaves are wet on the Blaubeuren rock path to the Rusenschloss.
The hike around the Blautopf …

Beautiful tour.
With a detour to the Rusenschloss.
If you ignore the Rusenschloss, the path is also doable with a pram.

Unbelievable, but unfortunately true: The Blautopf will be CLOSED for AT LEAST FOUR YEARS starting August 26th! 😢
So if you want to see it again, you'll have to hurry.
