Schmeie Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Magnificent greenery, plenty of water and here and there a proud rock – the Schmeietal is a wonderful chapter of the Kloster-Fels-Weg and a gentle change from the stony structures of Teufelsbrücke and Gebrochen Gutenstein.

The monastery rock path is not named by chance. In addition to the Princely Park Inzigkofen with monastery, Amalienfelsen, suspension bridge and the legendary Devil's Bridge over the Höll Gorge, there are numerous rock formations to marvel at that can be found all over the landscape. Again and again you can catch beautiful views of the picturesque floodplain landscape of …

This tour has been in my "saved tours" folder for a long time. Today I made the long journey.
The journey there is nice, as it goes a lot over land and that's not stressful unlike the motorway.

It starts in Laiz, then straight across the beautiful Danube and along the Danube until you reach the first viewpoint. The Amalienfelsen. …

Devil's Bridge crosses a wild and romantic gorge, the 19.5 meter deep "Höll". The original wooden bridge was replaced in 1895 by an elegantly curved concrete structure with ascending and descending stairs. The so-called "Stairway to Heaven" originally led boldly down from a rocky path into the "Höll".

Hello everyone 🙋‍♀️

This was the last hike 🥾 of our 10-day stay. And it was longer than stated, but also more beautiful 😃. They were all beautiful, but we liked this one the best.

Inzigkofer Park is absolutely fantastic with its suspension bridge 🌉, the Devil's Bridge 😈, and the Amalienfelsen 🪨. The entire rock park there is truly …
