Little Lauter Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A pristine valley through which the Lauter River meanders idyllically. Little traffic, as the valley is a dead end for cars.

Bridge Over the Blau

Highlight • Bridge

Cycle and footpath bridge next to the tracks. Be careful, it is slippery when wet due to the wooden surface.

Path Along the River Blau

Highlight • Cycleway

Especially during the week a car-free, little-traveled route with excellent asphalt. Very popular on weekends and should therefore be avoided.

View of Rußenschloss

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is nice. The hike to the ruins in autumn with a view of the Blautal valley from above is even more beautiful.

36.7 km

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.

View of Blaubeuren

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you want to see Blaubeuren up above, you have to drive the special book climb. But well worth the effort, great views
