Danube Wave – Danube Rocks Tour

This hike lives up to its title “Danube Wave”: You hike through the unique landscape of the Danube’s breakthrough valley in a beautiful up and down. Beautiful views of the river, the green forest and the bright rocks await you. You will quickly understand why the area is also called the Swabian Grand Canyon.

The starting point is right at the “Knopfmacherfelsen” bus stop. You can reach this with bus line 315 from Fridingen. Numerous viewing rocks lie ahead of you over a 16-kilometer stretch. So it’s best to pack some provisions, then you can choose one of the viewing points for a long snack break. How about the Roggenbusch viewing point, for example?

In addition to the fairytale landscape, you also hike past the Kallenberg castle ruins and enjoy a dreamy view of Bronnen Castle. One hundred percent Danube Valley enjoyment!

Special note:
In spring and after heavy rainfall, it may not be possible to cross the Danube on the stepping stones at the Jägerhaus without getting your feet wet. If in doubt, please find out beforehand.

You can also find current information about the passability of the Danube at the Jägerhaus on the Internet at www.donaubergland.de, www.jaegerhaus.de or by calling: 07466 254 (Gasthaus Jägerhaus). If you still want to do the entire tour in the event of the water level being too high, we recommend following the Donauberglandweg from the Jägerhaushöhle to Beuron and from there on the left bank of the Danube back to the Knopfmacherfelsen. This extends the route by around 4.5 kilometers.
