Klara Cave

Highlight • Cave

It's easy to miss.

There is also no information at the cave entrance about the cave and that it is called Klarahöhle

Naturefriends House Donautal

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At that time I used the Naturfreundehaus as a starting point and destination. Could park well here and then I have a cold drink at the end, after the ascent from the valley.

At the beginning of the round, the roads were in poor condition due to forestry work.
The Klara cave and some sections of the path were interesting on the first 3.5 km.
The rest of the route with its viewpoints was very nice.
Conclusion:
Can only recommend the round to a limited extent.

Somehow the signpost got lost in the valley. We briefly wobbled across the country in the direction of the Klara Caves. Something wild in the forest from the recent weather events

Today I quickly took advantage of the lovely fresh weather and went on a little tour to the Klarahöhle and the Schaufelsen. Despite the cold wind, it was worth it as always - great area.

Only at the end did I have a small glitch due to a lack of battery power.
