A piece of the Swabian Alb
Heidenheim Brenz Region
Over millions of years, primordial seas and rivers shaped the unique landscape along the river Brenz in the eastern part of the Swabian Alb. Where coral reefs once thrived and later Ice Age humans hunted mammoths, today clear karst springs, sunny dry valleys, mystical forests and rich cultural treasures invite you to search for traces of their past. Whether cycling along the river Brenz, hiking the Albschäferweg (Alb Shepherds Trail) or adventures with knights, caves and teddy bears – you'll find your own piece of happiness in the Heidenheim Brenz Region.
