Geisingen, located in the picturesque Donautal, is known for its viewpoints that open up views over the Baar plateau all the way to the Alps. If you are looking for a special bench, there are two favorites that hikers and locals alike love: The "Schöne Aussicht" (Wartenberg). This is the classic. On the Wartenberg, Geisingen's local mountain, you will find resting benches right by the ruin or along the hiking trails. For those who prefer it flat: along the Danube, there are modern resting facilities and benches that are directly oriented towards the town's silhouette and the gentle hills of the Baar.

The Höwenegg crater is not one of the dolines typical of the Swabian Alb, but a real volcanic crater. Geologically, it belongs to the Hegau volcanic region. Basalt mining has also shaped the crater's current appearance. You have a wonderful overview from this point.

Nestled in the heart of nature – the Baar region in the southern Black Forest – they are known for their wide range of spelt and organic food products from their own mill. Their own hydropower provides the energy for the entire production process. The miller guarantees the use of Oberkulmer Rotkorn and Franckenkorn grains in all their milled products.

The existence of the Geisingen town mill has been documented since 1139. Built by the serfs of the Lords of Wartenberg as part of their forced labor, the mill is an important testament to regional economic and social history and today houses the Spelt and Hildegard von Bingen Museum.

A chainsaw carving at the confluence of the Brigach and Breg rivers in Donaueschingen. A nearly 20-meter-long marble run is designed to bring the course of the Danube and its landmarks to life. For €1, you can buy a wooden ball from the "gumball machine," let it roll down, and take it home as a souvenir.

A very good viewpoint overlooking the crater lake, with a small rest area and information panel. Even though there is a large fence around the crater rim for safety reasons, a good view is still possible.
