View of Geislingen from the Anwand Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Limestone was once mined very close to the Anwandfels and transported down to the valley by cable car. The cable car was built at the end of the 19th century. Some of the concrete pillars of the supports still protrude from the ground today. The hiking trail from Geislingen leads past these remains.

View of Eybach from the Himmelsfelsen

Highlight • Viewpoint

The impressive, 70-meter-high sky rock offers a great view of Eybach and the Eyb valley. Some benches invite you to linger and the cross makes a nice motif.

Felsental Gorge

Highlight • Trail

Worth seeing, great trail and the Felsenschlocht high. Only the very steep stairs are a real obstacle

View of the Ödenturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tower from the 12th or 13th century, but was not mentioned in the history books until 1420. The tower had a bell that was used in case of danger. The tower is open on Sundays and can be climbed via wooden stairs.

Helfenstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

High above Geislingen an der Steige, the ruins of Helfenstein Castle stand majestically, a silent witness to medieval history and a popular destination in the Swabian Alps. 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. 🌄
