    Tips

    The Hohenstaufen is a 684 meter high Zeugenberg near Göppingen in front of the Swabian Alb. 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 name component “-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 in memory of the Staufer era.

      Experience breathtaking views and immerse yourself in the historic "Staufer" landscape. In the castle restaurant you can also enjoy culinary highlights: regional dishes are offered at a high level with an impressive view of the distance.

      Opening times: Thursday to Saturday from 12pm to 10pm. Sundays and public holidays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

      By the way: With a look at the "Berg Post", the specially published mountain newspaper of the Hohenstaufen, you can find out about various events on the Hohenstaufen - very interesting!

        On the Hohenstaufen there is a small restaurant with a terrace.

            Good view at the foot of the mountain and sunrise and sunset.
