Dietenheim walks

A walking tour through a magnificent beech forest and down to the banks of the Iller with its impressive floodplain woodland. This walking tour offers two distinct landscape experiences. On the one hand, the densely wooded Holzstöcke; and on the other, the banks of the Iller with their beautiful floodplain forest.

A varied walking tour through one of the most beautiful sections of the Lone Valley and through the Eschental to the edge of the Markhau. The Fohlenhaus rock formation in the Lone Valley is a relic from prehistoric times, formed from the reefs of the Jurassic Sea and petrified into rock over millions of years. It stands clearly visible at a bend in the River Lone, and the lovely rest area next to it is ideal for barbecues and games. The Fohlenhaus Loop encompasses one of the most beautiful sections of the Lone Valley. The walk follows mostly unspoilt paths and trails and is characterised by the stunning landscape. Whether along the river valley, through the rocky Eschental Valley or at the Küchleshalde, the alternation between valley, forest and higher ground is perfect.

This wonderful circular walk in Ottobeuren combines enjoyment of nature, exercise and mindfulness and is ideal for families and anyone looking for an inspiring break in the Allgäu. Along the way, you will learn a lot about the different planets.

A walking tour from Heroldstatt to the Eistal and Tiefental valleys, combined with a visit to the Sontheimer Cave, Germany’s oldest cave open to the public. This tour, characterised by the primeval Eistal and Tiefental valleys as well as the Sontheim Cave, offers a glimpse back into the Earth’s history.

This trail takes you on a journey from the Palaeolithic era to the Baroque period. It leads past the source of the Schussen (a natural monument) to Steinhausen and the “most beautiful village church in the world”. On the way back, the route passes a wayside shrine dedicated to Our Lady of the Mantle on the way to the Franzosengrab. The monastery complex makes for an impressive end to the walk.

Hiking tour from the climatic health resort of Westerheim to the Schertelshöhle and through the biosphere reserve. High up and deep down. At 815 metres, the climatic health resort of Westerheim is the highest settlement in the Alb-Donau District. But the route also takes us deep underground, namely into Schertelshöhle, one of the most impressive show caves in the Swabian Alb. Its huge stalactites and stalagmites are of fairy-tale beauty. On our walk starting from Westerheim, we reach the cave halfway along the route and can also visit the ‘Steinerne Haus’, which lies not far away. But the walk through the biosphere reserve has plenty more scenic beauty to offer. The circular route passes through both open farmland and attractive woodland areas, repeatedly reaching altitudes of over 800 metres.
