    Tips

    November 4, 2019

    The castle ruin Schelklingen lies on a mountain spur, which extends on its western side far into the formed by the Urdonau Schelklinger valley. On its other side it is bounded by the deeply cut longitudinal valley. In the east and west, the spur falls steeply into the valley, in the south it descends to the town Schelklingen, before which it ends with a rock gap. The tower of the castle ruins (621.5 m above sea level) is indeed at the highest point of the spur, but both are clearly dominated in the north by the Albhöhe. From Schelklinger castle tower therefore offers no view over the Alb or over the high road to Upper Swabia, but a remarkable view in the Schelklinger valley with its side valleys.
