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".

Great view, on the summit there are various viewpoints which explain which places you can see in the distance, a kl. Kiosk for what to buy and great seating. On weekends a lot going on during the week hardly. There is a "lighter" and a "heavier" way to climb
