Rosenstein Caves and Ruins

The Rosenstein is a very popular local recreation area. On the saddle between the Glasenberg (telecommunications tower) and the actual Rosenstein there is a parking lot for hikers that can be reached by car from Heubach. At the west summit above the ruin there is a restaurant with a playground and barbecue facilities.

The Rosenstein has numerous vantage points over the lower northern land. In addition to the ruins in the west and the Sedelfelsen in the east, the noise rock protruding to the north offers an exposed vantage point with an orientation table above the ruins. When the view is clear, the view extends from here over the Stuttgart television tower to the northern Black Forest.

The Heubach telecommunications tower has a viewing platform that is occasionally open to the public.
Also known are the many caves of the Rosenstein, such as the Große Scheuer, the Dreieingangshöhle, the Pliksburggrotten, the Dampfloch, the Fuchsloch, the Haus, the Sandburrenschacht and the Finstere Loch. Most of these caves are freely accessible, at least in summer. In total, over 40 caves are known on the Rosenstein [2].

The eastern side of the Rosenstein was designated as a Rosenstein nature reserve by ordinance of the Stuttgart Regional Council of January 30, 1981 with the protected area number 1.086. The area has an area of 22.0 hectares. The protection purpose is the preservation and promotion of the plant and animal communities occurring there as well as the creation of a regeneration area for particularly threatened animal species.
