Built around the historic monastery complex in the Upper Danube valley, Beuron grew into a small municipality at the heart of Baden-Württemberg’s Upper Danube Nature Park. The Danube cuts through steep, wooded Jurassic limestone slopes here, creating a notably confined section of the Swabian Alb. Beuron Archabbey began as an Augustinian canonry in 1077 and became a Benedictine abbey in the 19th century; it also gave its name to the Beuronese school of religious art. Trails and a railway line follow the valley between forest, cliffs and river. Browse nearby webcams to discover other stretches of the Upper Danube valley.
