The ruin Hohenringingen is located on the almost 880 meters high Nähberg. The keep was built in the 11th century and is 15 meters high. The ascent to the tower is worth it: from the top you have a nice view and in vain it is still. Next to the tower you will find a barbecue area.

The short but steep climb is worth it. From the top of the tower there is a wonderful view of the colorful fields around the Kornbühl. Nice barbecue area right next to the tower.
