Eselsburg Valley Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Path left and right along the course of the river. Mixture of gravel and meadow ground. Good parking and entry possibilities for inflatable boats and kayaks from Anhausen. In Eselsburg itself there are several points of contact for the hiking excursion, here there is something to eat, play and discover. From then on, you can continue on a tarred road to Herbrechtingen and marvel at the stone virgins. A little further on, climbing skills can be tried out on practice rocks.

Eselsburger Valley Start

Highlight • Gorge

Alblust is right... There's a lot going on. On the weekend you have to be careful that you don't hit a child/dog/grandma/mom with a stroller... So it's always nice to have a piano.

Eselsburger Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The Eselsburger Tal forms a section of the Brenz. The river flows from the Anhausen monastery near Herbrechtingen in a loop of the sharply narrowing valley around the "Buigen" ridge. First, the Brenz runs about three kilometers from Anhausen in a southerly and south-easterly direction,[1] past Bindstein Castle and Falkenstein Castle (Municipality of Gerstetten), after a hairpin bend in the district of Eselsburg (Herbrechtingen) it heads north to Herbrechtingen, where the Brenz turns sharply to the east. The Eselsburg valley is primarily known for its natural beauty; the most famous of these are the “Stone Maidens”. The Spitzbuben Cave is located at the southernmost point of the valley.

Steinerne Jungfrauen rock formations, Eselsburger Tal

Highlight • Natural Monument

On nice days there is a lot going on here, when you ride your bike you have to take care of yourself and the others. The pedestrians sometimes cross the path without looking back, unfortunately there is also a street that can be used by cars. I have no idea why that is.
