A visit here at Hohenstaufen (684m NHN) is always worthwhile. One of the three Kaiser mountains: Hohenstaufen, Rechberg, Stuifen....

The Hohenstaufen is 684 m above sea level. NHN high, the Swabian Alb upstream Zeugenberg near Göppingen. Its cone is visible from afar and is a striking element of the landscape silhouette around Göppingen. In addition to the Stuifen and the Rechberg, the Hohenstaufen is the westernmost of the closely spaced Drei Kaiserberge between the Remstal in the north and the Lauter and Filstal in the south.

The part of the name staufen corresponds to the old name Stauf for a pointed, conical mountain (derived from the West Germanic adjective * staupa- meaning "steep").

The ruins of the family castle of the Staufer family, the former Hohenstaufen Castle, are located on the mountain. A board on the summit explains the panorama. Since June 1, 2002, a Staufer stele has stood on the mountain to commemorate the Staufer era.

There is also a small excursion restaurant there. The summit can only be reached on foot, the shortest from the Hohenstaufen district of Göppingen of the same name.

On the southwest slope is the so-called play castle, a slipped limestone rock group of the upcoming White Jura rock.
