August 2, 2021,Rundweg um Blaubeuren - Eiszeitjägerpfad und Blaubeurer Felsensteig

This time I'm in the Swabian Alb area.
First I got stranded in Blaubeuren and had to take a compulsory stop.
Because it is also a beautiful hiking area there, I used it straight away.

We really enjoyed this tour, and at this point we would like to give a big compliment to the trail maintainers.
Then there was something surprising at the Geissenklösterle - a wild beehive on the rock.
Just before the end of the tour, we recommend stopping off at the Schillerstein forest restaurant.
