Tips
Helfenstein Castle, actually a ruin, was built around 1100 by Eberhard von Helfenstein.
At the site of the earlier hall construction, there is now an approximately nine meter high rectangular tower that you can "climb" from the inside, a staircase leads to the top. In summer you can linger and have a drink in the castle tavern on the east side... Pay attention to the flag. From here there is a very good view of Geislingen an der Steige, the five valleys and the surrounding mountains.translated by

If you dare and there is no oncoming traffic, you can go down the stairs onto a trail.
