Nature wonder
I first time heard about this place from my colleague coming from this area several years ago. Since that time it was on my bucket list but I never thought it was worth a long driving. Being in the area this summer I decided to finally visit it. I was amazed. It is little and crowded and it doesn´t offer too many opportunities for taking pictures in fact but just standing there and admiring the nature wonder was an unforgettable experience.

Lovely old town with some nice hiking paths
We drove out to here from Ulm one Sunday morning recently. We found it easy to find somewhere to park for free close to a park and we walked up to the Blautopf which was easy enough to find in this pretty little town. To be honest the pool itself was relatively small. We were grateful that on that morning the weather was rather mixed and therefore there weren't so many visitors in attendance. So, it was rather pleasant to stroll slowly around the pool and take the obligatory photographs of the lovely blue water. Having done that (it didn't take long) we decided to walk through the town and follow one of the long walking trails up into the woody hills, firstly in search of an old castle ruin Ruine Günzelburg with lovely views down into the valley, then a formation of rocks known as the Küssende Sau (kissing pig) before trekking on to the Brillenhöhle - caves which were unfortunately closed. By the time we got back down into the town we had clocked up well over 16km!!

Beautiful spring, lovely Abbey/town, nice hikes
Even with Covid 19 there were plenty of people visiting the beautiful spring. There was some information in German about the cave system and divers exploring the cave. We explored the Abbey area and then hiked 1 km hike up to Blaufelsen which has a great view of the town. People were mountain climbing and biking. You can hike from there along the ridge to Rusenschloss Ruin. I would suggest combining this with a visit to the nearby Hohle Fels Schelklingen. It was closed so we headed to Burg Hohengundelfingen and the Lauteral valley.
