    Hiking

    In the western observation tower of the Helfenstein castle ruins, you'll find a small, charming castle tavern, run with great attention to detail. In a rustic atmosphere, visitors are treated to hearty snacks, homemade cakes, coffee, and a selection of drinks – perfect for a relaxing break after the climb. 🧀🍰☕

    Open from April to October, Sundays and public holidays, and Saturdays if the weather is good. A nice touch: A flag hoisted on the tower indicates from afar whether the tavern is open. 🏳️

    Hiking

    From the Helfenstein Castle ruins, a breathtaking view opens up over Geislingen and the surrounding Fils Valley. The town is nestled in a wide valley, surrounded by the gently rolling hills of the Swabian Alb, which transform into a colorful sea of leaves, especially in autumn. 🏞️🍁
