The Blautopf is the most beautiful and, after the Aachtopf, the second largest karst spring in Germany. Its catchment area extends over approx. 160 km². From the 21 m deep funnel-shaped spring pot springs the blue. Its bulk amounts to an average of 2,270 liters per second, but can reach up to .32,000 l / s. Under the blue pot, the largest karst cave system in the Swabian Alb is suspected.

Blautopf

Highlight • Lake

A much sung about place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring always have a beneficial and invigorating effect.

Blaubeuren Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Blaubeuren is not only fascinated by the Blautopf, but also by the monastery that was founded in 1085. Today you can visit the monastery, which was newly built between 1466 and 1501, daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission costs 5 euros for adults, if you want to see the bathhouse in addition to the monastery, you pay 6.50 euros for the combined ticket. If you are under 18, you have free entry.

Hoher Wil, Tanners' Quarter, Blaubeuren

Highlight • Historical Site

The word Wil comes from a steep roof. The high Wil is located directly on the Aach and is the most beautiful half-timbered house in the old town of Blaubeuren.

Blaubeuren Market Fountain

Highlight • Monument

On the market fountain, which has been in use since 1600, a lion shows the ducal coat of arms and the city coat of arms with the blue man. The fountain represents the city's abundance of water. Originally essential for the water supply to the citizens, it lost this function when the water pipes were built to private households. However, the people of Blaubeuren vehemently prevented the planned dismantling of the fountain. In 1816, the stone basin, which had become leaky, was replaced by modern, cast-iron plates. These were considered indestructible, but were also very expensive. For this reason, rich decoration had to be dispensed with. Thus, only the city coat of arms, state coat of arms and year adorn the basin. The fountain column with the mighty lion, which holds the city coat of arms and the ducal coat of arms of Wirtemberg in its paws and shows travelers who is in charge in the city, is still a reminder of the original stone Renaissance fountain from the 16th century. The lion holds the city coat of arms and the ducal coat of arms of Wirtemberg in its paws and shows those passing through who is in charge in the city.

Yes, the trail is very beautiful, especially at this time of year. But please try to choose a more fitting name for the highlight! The current name is far too generic 🙂. I've posted a photo of myself. Hope that helps. Greetings, Micha 🖖
