Amalien Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Amalienfelsen rock is located on the way to the Devil's Bridge in a left-hand bend in the Danube on the right. It's immediately recognizable by the inscribed memorial, fantastic!

Schmeie Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Magnificent greenery, plenty of water and here and there a proud rock – the Schmeietal is a wonderful chapter of the Kloster-Fels-Weg and a gentle change from the stony structures of Teufelsbrücke and Gebrochen Gutenstein.

The monastery rock path is not named by chance. In addition to the Princely Park Inzigkofen with monastery, Amalienfelsen, suspension bridge and the legendary Devil's Bridge over the Höll Gorge, there are numerous rock formations to marvel at that can be found all over the landscape. Again and again you can catch beautiful views of the picturesque floodplain landscape of …

Devil's Bridge crosses a wild and romantic gorge, the 19.5 meter deep "Höll". The original wooden bridge was replaced in 1895 by an elegantly curved concrete structure with ascending and descending stairs. The so-called "Stairway to Heaven" originally led boldly down from a rocky path into the "Höll".
