Beautiful view of Klingenstein Castle, which, along with its ruins, has been owned by the Leube Foundation since 1975. The right of use is held by the Leube family, descendants of the Ulm pharmacist and co-founder of the German cement industry, Ernst Gustav Leube (1816-1881).

In view of the small sacred monument encountered here, some bikers may feel the need to pause for a moment before this cross, standing in the magnificent landscape. As a perhaps helpful thought, I would like to offer a few quotes from Christiane Völkel: + "Only when I give heaven space, when I entrust myself to it, can I also feel that it is working. This doesn't always go in the direction I wish, but it fills me with a sense of security and relaxation, of being in God, of being protected, or at least not being alone. Sometimes then, the certainty rises within me that heaven is reaching out to me. Not just to hold me, but so that I can place my despair and helplessness into its hands."

Founded in 1085, the monastery lived according to the rules of the Benedictine order. Between 1466 and 1510, the monastery complex was rebuilt in the late Gothic style and today presents itself with unique evidence of medieval activity. The high altar and the choir stalls are works of art of European rank, created by sculptors and painters of the Ulm School.
