Description

From the monastery of St. Peter and Paul we pass the deer enclosure and then dive into the wildly romantic Schweinbachtal. Steps lead us through the creek with its many rapids. Passing the Felsenmeer we reach Oberkollbach, where we can take a refreshment. Finally, our path leads through imposing sequoias to the bizarre rock formations of the Bruderhöhle and back to Hirsau.

Author's recommendation

In Hirsau, be sure to visit the monasteries of St. Peter and Paul (free access) and St. Aurelius and the monastery museum (Calwer Straße 6, phone: 07 051 59 015, opening hours: April to October: Tuesday to Friday 1:00 p. m. to 4:00 p. m. , Saturday and Sunday 12:00 p. m. to 5:00 p. m. ).
