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.
