On the track of the knights – 7 stages on the Hohenzollernweg

Distinctive, imposing, unique: Hohenzollern Castle welcomes its visitors from afar. High up on the horizon, the magnificent building towers over the cone-shaped Zollernberg. Hohenzollern Castle is a Highlight that you will walk past on this seven-day Tour along the Hohenzollern Trail - one of many Highlights. As you go, you will pass other pretty castles, weathered castle ruins, Roman sites and remains from the Stone Age on this 60-mile-long (100 kilometers) hiking trail. A diversity that is also reflected in nature: You start in the charming Neckar valley, hike over the high mountains of the Zollernalb and the panoramic Alb plateaux, descend into the lush green valley of the Lauchert and end the hike in the romantic rocky valley of the Danube breakthrough. The coat of arms of the Hohenzollern - a black-silver/white quartered sign - helps you to find your way along the way. Look forward to a varied hike with lots of noble flair.

Hiking in this region of Baden-Württemberg is fun from spring to autumn. However, nature is at its most beautiful when the leaves of the trees change color in late summer and autumn. The natural spectacle in the Danube Valley is particularly impressive, because the rugged, bright limestone rocks form a wonderful contrast to the yellow-orange leaves, while down in the valley the blue Danube splashes leisurely. A landscape to flow into.

Along the route, you will always find plenty of places to stop. The stages are planned in such a way that you can reserve accommodation in each destination. However, the choice of inns and hotels is limited in some cases, and it is advisable to reserve in advance. But the area is very well prepared for tourism. If the accommodation in one place is already occupied, then you will certainly find what you are looking for in the neighboring village. With the public means of transport, you get well through the region. All places along the Hohenzollernweg can also be reached by bus or train.

If you have more time, you can walk back from Beuron via Meßstetten, Schömberg and Rosenfeld to your starting point Sulz-Glatt and complete the Tour.
