Tips from the Community
Regardless of the time of year you stand here, the view is always an experience. In spring and summer, the grey fortress is nestled in lush, vibrant greenery, in autumn the slopes glow in the most beautiful colours, and in winter the castle ruins appear almost mystical and mysterious in the fog. Especially in the evening hours, when the warm light of the setting sun illuminates the old walls, the atmosphere is simply priceless.

The Neuffener Steig leads down in a very varied way. In some places, you have a great view of Hohenneuffen Castle.

The Schwanen belonged, like the mill, until 1761 as a fief mill to the Pfullingen monastery, from which it also got its name. Only afterwards did it pass into the ownership of the Röhm families, who successfully operated the mill until the end of the 90s. The Schwanen is first mentioned in the Urach forest map in 1544. Back then and still until the mid-50s, this was a popular meeting place for rafters, fishermen and millers, who earned their living in the mill and on the Neckar. They met in convivial company over wine, beer and snacks, and many a rafter, according to the story, had to "park" his timbers in the Neckar and spend the night in Mittelstadt. In 1971 the Schwanen was dismantled down to the foundations, the timber frame was fitted with new oak beams, enlarged and given the current name "Klostermühle".

Hülbener Steige closed to cars, great cycle path from Hülben to Dettingen or Dettingen to Hülben. Challenging climb!

When the Neckar carries a lot of water in spring, it can already roar and foam violently.

The view of Hohenneuffen Castle is worth it, because the castle ruins impressively tower over the Albvorland and are visible from afar. From here, you can enjoy a wide view over the Swabian Jura, the Ermstal valley, and on clear days even as far as the Black Forest. The combination of nature, history, and panorama makes Hohenneuffen a popular excursion destination.
