I had actually discovered the Wimser Höhle last year, but only now that it is quite close to Ulm... the tour by boat is only short, but definitely worthwhile, make a reservation in advance! tressbrueder.de/wimsener-hoehle There wasn't enough time for a larger hiking tour, so it only went a little along the river, rain was also not planned, so the …

An easy tour, well suited for children. It is best to buy tickets for the boat trip in the cave online in advance. Very nice area, enjoyed it very much. Surprisingly it wasn't overcrowded.

Before Uwe has to ponder any more, he thinks about what to do... so a drive in the convertible and a bit of hiking.
But it shouldn't be too much, as I'm still a bit under the weather.
So we went to Zwiefalten and from there to the Wimsener Cave.
A nice little walk.
Delicious 😋 We had food in …

September 22, 2024,Von Zwiefalten zum Biogasthof Friedrichshöhle👫👫🐕

Despite it being a sunny Sunday, we didn't have to wait in line for the route.
The stretch of route along the Ach is very beautiful and the ducks are used to the hustle and bustle.
Our waiter in the organic restaurant seemed a bit disorganized today and we got our food just as disorganized.
The seating is very nice …

At the spur of the moment we hiked from Zwiefalten through the Glastal to the Wimsen Cave to have lunch there. We returned the same way because the path along the water is so beautiful.
