Until 1073 there was a castle on the Käpfle, from which the name “Alteburg” of the estate and the restaurant to the north of the Käpfles goes back. From the castle itself, however, there are not even remnants of walls left. Since 1974 there has been a twelve-meter-high wooden observation tower on the Käpfle, which is open all year round. You have a wonderful view of Reutlingen and the Swabian Alb including Hohenzollern Castle.

From up there you have a beautiful view.
If the weather is nice, even to Stuttgart.
