Old Wooden Danube Bridge Memorial and Information Boards

Highlight • Monument

It was not until the 1980s that the bridge was modernized, i.e. built in concrete. A wooden element of the old bridge was given a second life as a souvenir and tool

July 14, 2023,Der DonAUwald-Wanderweg -Tag 4: Von Schwenningen nach Höchstädt

On this stage you experience the typical natural landscape in the Swabian Danube Valley - mixed deciduous forests interspersed with arable land, paired with small rivers and lakes. Again and again you come very close to the Danube, which you cross again at Schwenningen via a hydroelectric power station with dry feet.

The fifth and last stage of the DonAUwald hiking trail is also very attractive and leads through great forests and past many idyllic bodies of water, also with a number of opportunities for swimming. The museum in Höchstädt Castle with its faience collection and the exhibition on the Battle of Höchstädt is worth seeing. A visit to the castle café …

April 30, 2025,DonAUwaldweg 🌊 🌳 Etappe 4: Höchstädt- Schwenningen

Too bad! Already the last leg! Nothing to complain about here either. Well, yes! A little! Today, there were hardly any rest stops. At an old, rickety shack, there were at least benches, a table, and a beautiful view of the pond, complete with a frog concert. That's what a snack tastes like ;-)

April 14, 2025,4. Etappe DonAuwald Wanderweg - Höchstädt - Schwenningen

My last stage of the Danube River Forest Premium Trail begins.

In the middle of the floodplain forest, there are many boardwalks and a bridge...and all over a sea of wild garlic.

Today, the signage somehow got lost at the beginning, haha...no idea, but I finally found the first sign. Eureka!
