A sign on the Albuch mountain refers to the Battle of Nördlingen in the Thirty Years' War. Great view!

Charterhouse Church of Christgarten

Highlight • Religious Site

Popular destination in the lovely Kartäusertal. Only the small church remains of the former Carthusian monastery, called the Christgarten. There is also a game reserve in the immediate vicinity, which you have to cross on the Albsteig hiking trail.
