We started at the train station. The parking lot here was almost full early in the morning. Across the main road …

The start begins with a detour to the beautiful Blautopf. This is where the blue comes from. The path is consistently marked with a yellow circle and repeatedly with the signs "Blaubeurer Felsensteig". At the corner of Blautopfstrasse and Klosterstrasse, stairs lead up to the Blaufels. On the hiking trail there are always wonderful views of the valley basin. Past …
