Unfortunately, only a small section of the original Dillinger Weg remains. The main section is now closed after several landslides. Unfortunately, maintenance is too costly.

There are several small waterfalls on the Günztalweg on the western side of the Günz that are very beautiful. They break up the Günz and make it interesting.
