View of the Prim Valley from the Klippeneck Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful hiking trail between Klippeneck and Dreifaltigkeitsberg. Again and again there are possibilities on the way to enjoy the beautiful view of the Primtal or the Baar and the Black Forest.

December 11, 2022,Donauwelle Klippeneck-Steig zum Dreifaltigkeitsberg

The Klippenecksteig is the shortest tour of the Danube waves. The route is quickly explained. From the hiker's car park, a station path first leads through beautiful forest, then a somewhat steeper forest path up to the cliff corner, from there it's a forest path with beautiful views on the ridge to Trinity Mountain and from there, also on a …

July 18, 2021,Denkingen: DonauWelle Klippeneck-Steig

So, the second tour started in Denkingen, below the Klippeneck, a small parking lot for hikers in the first serpentine up to the mountain. Right at the beginning it was really bitter, it was more flowing water than road, all the rainwater ran out of the Swabian Alb.

July 15, 2023,Denkingen - DonauWelle Klippeneck-Steig 📷⛪✝🥔🥩😋🛩

Today we were able to go hiking again. It was quite early towards Heuberg.
The starting point was near Denkingen on the hiking car park opposite the Keippanlage at 24 grand.
At first it went along quite wide paths. These branched off again and again across the meadows. This of course made the distance a few meters longer.
A surprise …

This Danube wave is one of the shorter Danube circuits and at 9 kilometers it can be walked in half a day. Strictly speaking, you don't see anything of the river that gives it its name, the Danube. But you get great views on the high path between Klippeneck and Dreifaltigkeitsberg, you can explore two Ways of the Cross and …

May 9, 2024,Klippeneck-Steig: von Denkingen zum Dreifaltigkeitsberg

From Denkingen, the path goes along the edge of the forest to the beautiful "Jahrgang 73" hut and the steep climb to the Dreifaltigkeitsberg. More than 400 steps 😰. Beautiful pilgrimage church with bakery, fountain building, nativity scene exhibition all year round and great views of the Black Forest and the Alps (depending on the weather). Then always along the …

Did a really nice hike today😁👍
We started at the Wassertretstelle Denkingen water parking lot. The Crucifixion Path with 13 wayside shrines to the Nothelferkapelle 😁😁😁 To the left of the chapel is a statue of the Virgin Mary that is worth seeing.
Continue past the Katzenbrunnen, onto the Klippeneck, reach the top in light snowfall, wonderful view of the …
