Tips

The Hohenstaufen is a witness mountain with a ruin, which is almost 10 kilometers north of the steep Albtraufs. Due to its exposed location, you have a beautiful all-round view from the summit. The castle used to be the headquarters of the Hohenstaufen family. The mountain was already settled in the early Middle Ages - a time long before the castle existed. The ruin can only be reached on foot or by bike and there is a small restaurant.

In the footsteps of Emperor Barbarossa you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the Filstal and the Swabian Alb as far as Stuttgart.
Also for food and drink is provided thanks to the mountain restaurant "heaven and earth".

For handicapped people there is the possibility to reach the mountain messenger on the Hohenstaufen. During the summer months, it operates every two weeks on Sundays.
The departure on the dates is at 11 clock at the parking lot across from the SV Göppingen on the Hohenstaufen road in Göppingen. The return from the mountain is around 2 pm. Registration under Tel. (07161) 999 100. The association "mountain Hohenstaufen" asks for the mountain courier for a donation.
