괴핑겐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

From the Himmelsfelsen (Heavenly Rock), a wide, unobstructed view opens up over the idyllic valley and the rooftops of the small town. Particularly striking is the contrast between the gently rolling hills of the Swabian Alb, the dense forests, and the open meadows, which transform into a sea of color in autumn.

The Messelberg is a soaring mountain. A rocky cliff at 743 m above sea level, it protrudes from the Messelberg. From here, on a clear day, you can see as far as the Black Forest, about 130 km away. The Swabian Alb North Rim Trail, which runs along the edge of the Alb trauf, offers particularly beautiful views far down into the Fils Valley at the Rötelstein and Messelstein viewpoints near Donzdorf. One of the Lion Trails also leads along the Messelberg, a bare rock that protrudes from the green Messelberg. The Messelberg is also home to the Donzdorf Flying Group's gliding airfield. Not far from there, next to the Rötelstein, is the launch pad of the Staufen Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club.

Actually, one can only be grateful to the owners for allowing hikers partial access so that they can take a look inside the impressive castle.

It is worth stopping here for a great view

Good place to rest after a steep climb.

You will pass the summit cross if you take the Orchid Trail or the Wasserberg Trail. Very nice view of the valley.

View of the 5 valleys town of Geislingen.

The most beautiful viewpoint over the Rohrachtal but also ideal for train spotters.
