Join us for a memorable autumn hike to one of the most iconic landmarks in Baden-Württemberg: the magnificent Hohenzollern Castle!
We'll take the train from Tübingen to Hechingen, where our hike begins. From there, we'll make our way through the beautiful surrounding countryside towards the castle, enjoying the crisp autumn air and spectacular views along the way.
Our first stop is the Hohenzollern Castle. We'll take a break at the castle, where everyone will have the opportunity to admire its impressive architecture and panoramic views. Those interested can also visit the castle interior (optional).
After our castle visit, we'll continue hiking towards Zellerhornwiese, where we'll enjoy even more beautiful views of the castle and the surrounding Swabian Jura.
If the weather and local conditions permit, we'll make a stop at a designated barbecue area (Grillplatz). We'll gather some wood together, make a fire, and enjoy a cosy outdoor break. So, if you'd like to join the fun, bring some sausages, marshmallows, or other treats to grill over the fire!
