✝️ Cross with a view of Donnstetten A really beautiful, quiet spot above Donnstetten. 🌿⛰️ On the cross is the inscription: „Lord, your goodness reaches as far as the heavens.“ It fits perfectly here with the wide view over the town and the Alb landscape. ☁️🌳 🪑 A bench invites you to simply sit for a few minutes and enjoy the view. 😊

Fascinated by the impressions of his journey through Germany, Austria, and Upper Italy, which the American writer Mark TWAIN – known to us readers primarily as the 'literary father' of Tom Sawyer and Hucklebery Finn – had undertaken in 1878, he writes about a hike through the forests: “But the most peculiar effect and the most magical is produced by the softly diffused light of the low-lying afternoon sun; not a single ray can penetrate then, but the soft light takes on color from moss and foliage and fills everything with a delicate green haze, the theatrical lighting of a fairytale land. The mood of mystery and the supernatural, which always hangs over the forest, is made even more intense by this unearthly light.” (Mark Twain: “Bummel durch Europa”)

A beautiful information board with exciting insights into the history of the Filstal and the Swabian Jura. The bench next to it is perfect for a short break to consciously take in the landscape. Especially on longer hikes, it's a quiet place to catch your breath, read, and enjoy nature. 🍃📖
