We are aware of the fact, that the picture above isn't going to win us a big prize on an international foto-contest, but the surroundings of the site are a bit dull. Add to that a nice drizzle, and you get the view above. None the less, as you can see below, the material here is quite nice. The site is just a short distance from Blaubeuren, which is surely worth a visit. Not only is this the "capital" of one of the major areas with paleolithic caves in Germany and has a small but nice museum, but also has some of the best touristic infrastructure we came by on our excursions. An ample selection of hotels, restaurants and bars stand at your disposal, most of them also off-season. |
