Kahlenstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view over Bad Überkingen. If you go down the side of the Kahlenstein, you'll find an interesting cave, but surefootedness is required here. The descent is relatively steep. You can sometimes even spot climbers here.

The "Filstalgucker" Lion Trail is not lacking in charming views. The Tyrolean Rock, the Ostland Cross, and the Burgstall lookout point all promise a magnificent view of the Albtrauf and its idyllic villages. You don't even have to climb far. You're guaranteed to find one or two tasty options for refreshments

For those who travel by train in an environmentally friendly way, we recommend climbing from Geislingen Steige train station through the old town up the old Türkheimer Steige.
