Lautertopf Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "Lautertopf" is one of the strongest karst springs in the Swabian Alb and here a real river emerges almost out of nowhere. The small Lauter, however, is only 6 …

Deep valley trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Seems forever, even though it's only ten kilometers. It's going uphill all the time. Very pleasant to drive in the summer heat, as the forest provides shade and coolness.

November 13, 2025, Alb-Donau-Kreis Radtour 6 - Tälerfahrt rund um Blaubeuren und hoch auf die Alb

🚴🚴‍♀️And the Alb-Donau district rounds continue. With fantastic ☀️☀️ weather in November. 🍁🍂 Temperatures of 19 degrees Celsius and 11 degrees Celsius in the valleys. To finish off, we enjoyed some delicious cake and coffee.☕🍰

Tour 07/06/2024: 1862MP: Knühl-Bus-Radreise: The Blautopf-Runde: Laichingen (Tiefenhöhle) Berghülen Bühlenhausen (kleines Lautertal, 📍Lauterquelle) Herrlingen Blaustein Arnegg Gerhausen Blaubeuren (📍Blautopf, 📍Kloster) Sontheim Laichingen Weather better than reported the day before ... only at 4:00 p.m. did we get a little rain on the last 5 km or so ... before that, the weather was beautiful

Tour 6 from the "Bicycle Tours Adventure Tours. Experience World Culture" brochure from the Albdonau District Tourist Office offers everything: from Laichingen, the tour goes through the Lauter Valley to Blaustein and then to Blaubeuren. The return journey leads gently up the Alb via the Tiefental valley.

A beautiful, scenic cycling area.🚵‍♂️.🌞🌲🍀🐞🐝 The color of the Blautopf is truly impressive and worth seeing.

My relaxing lap to clear my head because I have to work from home

The deep cave in Laichingen was worth visiting. Sometimes it goes down extremely steeply. Up to 55 meters deep. And then back up again on a different path. You have to breathe a bit ;-) Unfortunately, the photos didn't turn out so well because of the blinding lighting in the cave. Another piece of information: You could still cycle to the forecourt of the Blautopf today. The attraction is due to be renovated for 4 years :-(

Super nice round with great "highlights" 🚴‍♀️🚴☀️🌀🌻🪨🌊

Deployed as a tour guide, it went on a round trip on the Swabian Alb. From Herrlingen we went through the small Lauter valley and past the source of the small Lauter, steadily uphill in the most beautiful cycling weather and beautiful hotspots to Suppingen. Next we drove to the Sontheimer cave for our break at the local gastronomy. Unfortunately, the sun god left us there and we got caught in heavy rain, which only lasted 15 minutes. We bridged the time with a cup of coffee. We continued downhill, again in the best weather, to Blaubeuren to the Blautopf. Despite the large number of visitors, we were able to view the Blautopf with an ice cream before we drove the last few kilometers along the Blau to Herrlingen
