Tips from the Community

Ferienhaus Donautaler Wohlfühloase
September 10, 2026, Parasol Mushrooms

The Pfannental is located next to an abandoned quarry in gently hilly terrain on the southern edge of the Swabian Jura. The holiday home Donautaler Wohlfühloase is an ideal starting point for discovery tours into the Pfannental.

The renaturalization was very successful. There are some very beautiful spots with rest areas.
