Hiking Tour to the Roßberg

Discover the Beauty of the Swabian Alb!

Join us for a scenic hike to the Roßberg, one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Swabian Alb! Enjoy a stunning panorama across the Alb plateau – and on clear days, you might even spot the Alps on the horizon.

At the top of the hill, we’ll visit the Roßberg Tower, offering even more breathtaking views. After the climb, we’ll relax at the cozy beer garden, where food and drinks will be available. There's plenty of time to relax, take in the landscape, and enjoy good conversation.

This tour is organized and conducted by one of our volunteers (Mathias Büttner). He will meet you at the meeting point.
