The food was very plentiful and tasty. Outdoor seating as far as the eye can see, and in bad weather there is a beer tent. Homemade brain soup today, delicious!

The Schopfloch peat bog is a scenic feature of the Swabian Alb. It owes its creation to a water-retaining layer of clay, which was created by the weathering of a volcanic vent.

From this ledge you have the most direct view of the Reußenstein ruins. In winter you have to be careful not to slip on the snow-covered rocks.

Today the waterfall really deserves its name. It's amazing how the water runs out of the rock at the 2 source points. So always wait for heavy rain and snowmelt
