Today was supposed to be my friend's first hike in the Danube Valley😃…. He only knows that from riding a motorcycle 🏍️👍🏻
At very short notice, despite the cloudy weather, we made our way to Fridingen an der Donau, where we parked in the industrial area at the train station🚂.
From there we walked a long way along the tarred …

July 2, 2023,Fridingen- Kolbinger Höhle-Gansnestturm

The Mühlheimer Felsenhöhle is only open once a year and I was too early at the Kolbinger Höhle. The weather was ideal, the strong wind at times was good for cooling off. After the …

March 5, 2023,Märzenbecher-Wanderung im Hintelestal

Despite zero sun, a really nice hike in the upper Danube valley with thousands of March beakers in the Hinteles valley. Unfortunately, the two caves we passed were still closed for the winter. Definitely invites you to visit again in the summer.

March 20, 2025,Zur Märzenbecher Wanderung Fridingen an der Donau

We started in Fridingen an der Donau near the Desmarwerke (Desmar Works). The tour first took us past the Heilig Brünnli (Holy Spring). Then we continued through the Hintelestal valley to see the snowdrop blossoms. The climb to the forest trail was strenuous. We continued along the forest trail to the Kolbingerhöle (Cologne Cave). Unfortunately, it was still closed for …
