Hiking Tour at Hohenzollern

We warmly invite you to join us for a winter hike around Hohenzollern Castle!

We’ll begin our walk in Bisingen. From there, we’ll first hike to a beautiful picnic and grilling area, where we’re hoping to make a small campfire during our lunch break. After lunch, we’ll continue on to the "Zellerhorn Wiese", which offers an amazing view of the castle.

Afterwards, we might visit the castle grounds as well. However, due to an event, it is unfortunately not possible to visit the castle inside at that day. 

We look forward to spending this day with you!

DATE: 
December 07, 2025 

MEETING POINT / TIME:
9:10 a.m. in the entrance hall of the main station / Hauptbahnhof Tübingen
Europaplatz 19, 72072 Tübingen

We will start the excursion from there and expect to return to Tübingen in the late afternoon.
