Top Nature in Baden-Wurttemberg

I suggest getting there early, like around 9 AM, to beat the crowds. It’s way more enjoyable when it’s not packed! Plus, you’ll get better photos without all those people in the background.

My advice is to visit during weekdays, especially around 10 AM. It's way less crowded then, and you can enjoy the nature without the noise of large groups

Don't forget to pack a light jacket! It can get chilly up there, even in summer. I learned that the hard way when I froze during an afternoon hike at Schauinsland.

Buy your tickets online to save some euros. I got stuck in line when I went, and online prices were lower than at the entrance.

Plan your visit around lunch. The small café nearby serves a lot of regional snacks, and it's perfect for a quick bite before or after exploring.

Wear good walking shoes! I was in flip-flops and regretted it halfway through the cave. Trust me, those rocks aren't forgiving.

I think bringing a flashlight is a good idea. Even though they provide some lighting in the caves it can get a bit dark in spots. A little extra light made my experience much better.
