The rock was worked on from both sides by the original Danube. When climbing you will always find fossil sponges and shell fragments. The Schutter spring is also nearby.

I put together and planned today's hike from three tours.

The origin was the loop path 11 "Dollnstein" of the Altmühltaler Panoramaweg.

Spice up with a detour to the Jägersteig after a tour by Alex Pavel.

When zooming up on Komoot I came across the Oberlandsteig / Felsensteig via Alpenvereinaktiv.

A beautiful hike in changeable weather, from the Aicha climbing center to Dollstein and back, followed by a via ferrata. (Oberlandsteig)

October 6, 2021,Urdonautal, von Dollnstein über den Jägersteig nach Konstein. Bei Aicha Aufstieg in den Dollnsteiner Wald und über die alte Römerstraße und den Trockenrasenhängen zurück zum Startpunkt

Great hike. From Dollnstein it went through the Urdonautal to the Jägersteig. An absolute highlight. Sturdy shoes and surefootedness are a prerequisite. In places it turned into mountaineering and sometimes you could only get on on all fours. It had rained the night before and this made the crossing borderline. The Jägersteig is only recommended in dry weather, but then …

Beautiful tour including Jägersteig, Felsensteig and Dollenstein Castle as well as Wellheim Castle. The train runs to/from Dollenstein every hour. The Jägersteig is very long and costs a lot of money, the Felsensteig has small climbing passages, everything is doable. The Urdonautal is simply beautiful for hiking and cycling.

Very demanding tour, as you sometimes have to use your hands to climb the climbs. But especially now in spring it is really beautiful

After arriving by train, the Urdonautalsteig began for us in Dollnstein. Along great rock formations and castle ruins and through sparse forests we went to the Naturfreundehaus in Wellheim, where we were allowed to spend the night with excellent hosts.
