November 3, 2022,DonauWelle Eichfelsen-Panorama ab Beuron Bhf 🍂🍁
Today we hiked the Donauwelle "Eichfelsen-Panorama". That was the only one we haven't done yet. However, the paths were known to us from other tours except for a short distance.
The weather was a bit cloudy, the sun 🌞 didn't really want to shine, but it wasn't raining either.
You can tell it's vacation time. There were more hikers than …

Good evening 🖐!
If you have the "Swabian Grand Canyon" 🏞 almost on your doorstep, you should pay it a visit. So the three of us drove via Balingen and the Lochen to Beuron.

I started at the wooden bridge in Beuron when the temperature was still pleasant.
The climb to the Eichfelsen viewpoint was easy. Shady forests and root-covered forest paths led me to a fantastic …

My first Donauwelle👍The circular hiking trail has everything you need. Beautiful paths, mighty rocks, caves... it had everything! Unfortunately, it was very foggy so you couldn't see much of the panorama.

Used the long weekend again to take part in a group hike about 200km from home. And I have to say it was really worth it...
In the beautiful Danube valley, the Eichfelsen panorama tour of the Donauwellen Premium hiking trails was on the agenda today. Even though I felt like I climbed Mount Everest twice (although I'm slowly but …

A really beautiful and varied tour, but unfortunately there are few opportunities to enjoy the view of the Danube valley in summer. But we have firmly resolved to do the tour again in autumn or winter, when the trees have no more leaves.
