March 26, 2025, Wooden Bridge Over the Lonegraben Between Salzbühl and Fohlenhaus

Not only does it connect two beautiful sections of the route, but it also blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. The bridge offers a picturesque view of the Lonegraben and is a great place to pause and enjoy nature.

The Historische Wässre (Historic Water Reservoir) is a fascinating water reservoir that was once used for irrigating and fertilizing meadows. It has been faithfully recreated with great attention to detail.

The Fohlenhaus Stone Age Cave in the Lone Valley is a fascinating destination for nature and history enthusiasts. This impressive karst cave once served as a shelter for Stone Age people and today offers a glimpse into times long past. With its distinctive shape and special charm, it exudes a sense of mysticism.

The Nau is a 21.1 km long, left tributary of the Danube in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Its two source rivers, the Warme and Kalte Ach, rise from several karst springs in Langenau. East of the town they merge to form the Nau. The Warme Ach is considered the main source river. The Nau flows through parts of the Donauried and flows into the Danube near Günzburg. The Nau Canal is located in the Swabian Alb Geopark and offers beautiful cycle paths along the canal.

Interesting rock formation that was used by people a long time ago. Beautifully situated in nature, there is also a hut with a barbecue area.

The Nau winds its way through the middle of the city and invites you to linger. In the summer, licking an ice cream from the Italian ice cream parlor right next door is wonderful, and the ice cream is very tasty!
