Küssende Sau Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Millions of years ago, the waves of the primeval sea sloshed away. Coral lived in it. The fossilized remains of these creatures we see today as rocks - in the form of a kissing sow (or two kissing sows ?!)

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.

Since I don't always want to publish the same tours, it was quiet here for a while.
Today we went to Blaubeuren, we wanted to circle the town at the Blautopf on a route that we hadn't done before.
We started at the train station. The parking lot here was almost full early in the morning. Across the main road …

August 15, 2023,Blaubeurer Felsenstieg ⛅️🥵 [52]

Despite the fact that a lot of it runs on beautiful shady forest paths, some of which have an alpine character 🥾🥾, it was quite humid today 🥵, but stayed dry from above, …

October 5, 2022,Blaubeurer Felsensteig

The start begins with a detour to the beautiful Blautopf. This is where the blue comes from. The path is consistently marked with a yellow circle and repeatedly with the signs "Blaubeurer Felsensteig". At the corner of Blautopfstrasse and Klosterstrasse, stairs lead up to the Blaufels. On the hiking trail there are always wonderful views of the valley basin. Past …
