Always beautiful at the Federsee

After the Bear Cave, the path climbs steeply, and there are currently many fallen trees in the way. You should be flexible and able to step over them or climb through the trees below. However, you shouldn't be afraid of heights. The path is very difficult with small children. However, the valley and the aqueduct are very beautiful and quickly make you forget your initial effort.

You can even take a short circular walk through the moor from the footbridge at the end/beginning. This puts you in the middle of it, rather than just being there. There are steps leading up from the footbridge. Easy to miss. See pictures.
