Danube Rock Run rich in nature and culture in the Swabian Alb, Baden-Württemberg
This route is a certified premium hiking trail that offers many exciting natural and cultural attractions. The Felsenweg monastery starts at the gym in Laiz and leads on partly steep and narrow paths through truly spectacular landscapes. From split rocks, caves worth seeing and lush green river valleys, there is something for every taste. It is worth stopping every now and then to enjoy the magnificent views of the Danube or the ruins of "Broken Gutenstein". For culture enthusiasts, we recommend a detour to the Hohenzollern Castle in Sigmaringen after the hike.
This route can be reached by bus and train and there is a place to stop for refreshments.
Highlights of the hike:
- Amalienfelsen and grottos
