Blaubeuren Hammer Forge

Highlight • Monument

On the terrace you sit right next to the Blautopf - when it's not full it's nice, but it can get very crowded.

Blautopf

Highlight • Lake

A much-sung place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring are always soothing and uplifting.

October 3, 2023,Riding in the storm - Trailrunde mit Pilzen im Westwind

A nice warm-up ride on the full suspension bike. Easy pedaling over Hochsträß to the bike park in Pappelau. This lovely little park leaves nothing to be desired for practice. Then off into the woods, confident that the hikers hadn't arrived yet. And so it was, and we were alone. After a steep descent from Schillerstein to Gerhausen, a calorie …
