Blaubeuren Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful old fountain from 1814 on the monastic site in Blaubeuren.

604 m

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.

Hammer Forge at the Blautopf

Highlight • Historical Site

The hammer forge was built in 1804 as a blacksmith's and weapon smithy. In 1889 it was converted into a mechanical workshop, which was in operation until 1959.
In the 1960s, the Blautopf was to become an attractive excursion destination and a hammer forge bought in the Allgäu was built into the forge building over a two-year period.

Today, the forge can be viewed in its original function and put into operation.

Opening hours:
Palm Sunday - November 1st
9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Admission: children € 1 / adults € 1.50

View of Blaubeuren from the Rock Outcrop

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the way to Rusenschloss you will find a first viewing rock very close to Sonderbuch with a great view of the Blautal and over Blaubeuren.
A little hidden behind a memorial to the fallen, a comfortable bench invites you to take a break.

Rusenschloss Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Hohengerhausen ruin, also known as Rusenschloss, is enthroned in the forest high above Blaubeuren and is likely to date back to the eleventh century. It gives you a wonderful view of the Ach and Blautal. Unfortunately, her old age increases, which is why the castle is currently largely closed and under renovation. The view and the grotto just a few meters below are definitely worth the climb.

Rock labyrinth

Highlight • Natural Monument

The rock labyrinth is located on the northern flank of the Ach Valley and consists of several rock formations. The most important: The Brillenhöhle is an important Upper Palaeolithic site from prehistoric times. Unfortunately, it is currently not accessible. Then there is the "Kissing Pig" and the climbing rock.

Küssende Sau Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Millions of years ago, the waves of the primeval sea sloshed away. Coral lived in it. The fossilized remains of these creatures we see today as rocks - in the form of a kissing sow (or two kissing sows ?!)
