Hiking along the Danube
"Donauwellen" is a traditional German cake, but also the name of five certified hiking tours high above the Danube. Another hiking route lets you connect hiking and beer - the "Beer-Hiking" trail in Ehingen. In the Urdonau valley, you will find the "Ice Age" trails with a whole bunch of certified hiking trails. Do you want to hike for several days along the Danube in Bavaria? The "Urdonausteig" and the "Danube Panorama" route offer exactly that.
This is only a small selection of wonderful hiking trails in the Danube region. The local tourist information centres offer a lot more about the topic of hiking. So put your hiking boots on and go!
