September 12, 2026, Grill Area at Römersteinturm

🔥 Grill spot at Römersteinturm – Pause in the middle of the forest 🌳 A beautifully located grill spot with several seating options and a fire pit, ideal for a longer break on the tour. 🥾 🥪 You can take a cozy break here before heading back through the forest. If you want to grill, you should of course check beforehand if fires are currently permitted. 🔥 🌿 Quiet spot, lots of forest around and just right for resting your legs for a bit.

Slightly hidden in the forest lies this old water reservoir. The weathered concrete structure today looks almost like a forgotten place and is an exciting little find right by the path. 🌲

✝️ Cross with a view of Donnstetten A really beautiful, quiet spot above Donnstetten. 🌿⛰️ On the cross is the inscription: „Lord, your goodness reaches as far as the heavens.“ It fits perfectly here with the wide view over the town and the Alb landscape. ☁️🌳 🪑 A bench invites you to simply sit for a few minutes and enjoy the view. 😊

Access to the former military training area of Römerstein Zainingen. Unfortunately, the hollow cannot be bypassed via the tank track.
