The Blautopf is the most beautiful and, after the Aachtopf, the second largest karst spring in Germany. Its catchment area extends over approx. 160 km². From the 21 m deep funnel-shaped spring pot springs the blue. Its bulk amounts to an average of 2,270 liters per second, but can reach up to .32,000 l / s. Under the blue pot, the largest karst cave system in the Swabian Alb is suspected.

Blaubeuren Hammer Forge

Highlight • Monument

On the terrace you sit right next to the Blautopf - when it's not full it's nice, but it can get very crowded.

Blautopf

Highlight • Lake

A much sung about place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring always have a beneficial and invigorating effect.

Butterfly Valley (Tiefental)

Highlight • Gorge

De facto the deep valley in the upper section. Especially here you can observe numerous insects, especially butterflies, in the appropriate season. A reason to just take the gas out (downhill at least ;-)) and pause.
