Tips from the Community
Fascinated by the impressions of his journey through Germany, Austria, and Upper Italy, which the American writer Mark TWAIN – known to us readers primarily as the 'literary father' of Tom Sawyer and Hucklebery Finn – had undertaken in 1878, he writes about a hike through the forests: “But the most peculiar effect and the most magical is produced by the softly diffused light of the low-lying afternoon sun; not a single ray can penetrate then, but the soft light takes on color from moss and foliage and fills everything with a delicate green haze, the theatrical lighting of a fairytale land. The mood of mystery and the supernatural, which always hangs over the forest, is made even more intense by this unearthly light.” (Mark Twain: “Bummel durch Europa”)

How the local hunter managed to get hold of a motorway sign to use as a roof for his (currently grounded) hunting stand is beyond my knowledge. But the hiker is amazed to suddenly find a motorway sign next to the forest path and then discovers the strange construction on site.

Beautiful view of Klingenstein Castle, which, along with its ruins, has been owned by the Leube Foundation since 1975. The right of use is held by the Leube family, descendants of the Ulm pharmacist and co-founder of the German cement industry, Ernst Gustav Leube (1816-1881).

The Tiefental Valley, often called the Butterfly Valley, is a quiet, almost hidden gem of the Alb. In the warmer months, numerous species of butterflies flutter through here – a sign of the intact natural environment. The entrance leads past an alpaca farm in true style – and if you look around, you might even get a curious look from the woolly onlookers. Do they know that they are the secret mascots of the event?
