ギンゲン・アン・デア・フィルスのおすすめランニングルート

Here you can enjoy a beautiful view. In spring, there are many early-blooming flowers to discover in the surrounding forest.

High above Geislingen an der Steige, the ruins of Helfenstein Castle stand majestically, a silent witness to medieval history and a popular destination on the Swabian Alb. The castle was built around the year 1100 by the Counts of Helfenstein, an influential noble family with close ties to the Hohenstaufen dynasty. Over the centuries, the complex was expanded and fortified several times before being destroyed in the 16th century during warfare. Today, impressive remains of the walls, parts of the keep, and the basic structure of the castle are still preserved. A particular highlight is the panoramic view over the Fils Valley, Geislingen, and the surrounding hills – an unforgettable experience, especially at sunrise or sunset. 🌄
