Heimensteinhöhle und Heimnadel Aussichtspunkt

great view of the Reussenstein and exit of Heimensteiner cave which is, however, locked from January to July

The home needle is part of the natural monument White Wall Heimenstein. From here you have a spectacular view of the ruin Reußenstein.

Here you can walk right up to the abyss, without there being a barrier, or a railing. This makes this look very natural and makes the view particularly beautiful. The view is breathtaking.

In the earliest time a river flowed through the cave, which is documented by water level marks on the walls. To the cave there is a legend of the writer Wilhem Hauff. Thereafter, the giant home once lived here, until he moved into the specially built for him castle Reussenstein.
The cave can be easily reached from the Wandererparkplatz Bahnhöfle and is freely accessible.

The Heimenstein cave is named after the Heimenstein, a striking rock opposite the ruin Reußenstein. Here was a castle that is barely recognizable today. The Heimenstein cave, which is located in this rock and is a passage cave, was probably integrated into the defensive system of the castle. From the mountain side, it goes down steeply, until finally the 20m lower located second entrance is reached. This is located in the cliff towards Reußenstein and offers a beautiful view of the ruin Reußenstein.

Here you can directly to the abyss, without here a barrier or a railing is available. The view is really incredible and invites you to linger.

Beautiful view of the Neidlinger valley with ruin Reußenstein

Nice view to the castle Reussenstein and to Neidlingen

Great rock formation with the Heimensteiner cave. From the home needle you have a beautiful view of the Neidlinger valley and Ruinie Reußenstein.
