Schloss Bronnen is an impressive building that has been privately owned since 1950 and is permanently inhabited (therefore unfortunately no access, or only up to the garden gate before the bridge). Great photos possible from every side.

Super nice hike in autumn along the Donsu. Easy to complete, only the climb to the monastery is a bit arduous

Because we stayed there overnight, we were able to witness in the morning how the sun slowly came through the fog.
After breakfast, we then set off on this tour, which was packed with many highlights.
It was beautiful.

Today we're going on a small but very beautiful and varied tour in the Danube Valley. From Beuron Monastery, the path goes slightly uphill to Bronnen Castle. From Bronnen Castle to the Jägerhaus, you'll definitely need good shoes and surefootedness. There are several cave entrances along the route, which can be easily reached from the small path.
