View from Maierhalde

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Maierhalde, a point on the Albtrauf near Donzdorf-Kuchalb in the Göppingen district, is considered one of the most beautiful vantage points in the entire Swabian Alb.

The view from the Maierhalde is dominated by the very rolling Albtrauf and the witness mountains in front of the Albtrauf. At the Maierhalde, there is a wayside cross, a panorama panel, and a seating area.

Visible, for example, are the Three Kaiser Mountains: Hohenstaufen, Rechberg, and Stuifen. Important landmarks of the Albtrauf, such as the Kaltes Feld, the Messelstein, and the Hohenstein, are also visible. You can also see the Fils Valley and parts of the Lauter Valley, a side valley of the Fils Valley (there are several rivers named Lauter in the Swabian Alb).

Scharfenhof - Farm shop near Donzdorf

Highlight • Castle

The manor served in earlier times to supply the lords of the manor of the estate on the Scharfenberg.
Today, the farm shop on the Scharfenhof in Donzdorf shines with regional specialties: Angus beef, canned sausage, wood-fired bread, jams, juices, liqueurs, and other farm products.
The Hofladen Scharfenhof in Donzdorf stands for regional quality, honest agriculture, and lovingly produced products. On the idyllically located farm at the foot of the Swabian Jura, Angus cattle live, which have plenty of outdoor access all year round and are kept with care. The meat and sausages come exclusively from these own animals – fresh, high-quality, and produced with respect for the animal.
In addition to meat and canned sausage, the farm shop offers a large selection of homemade breads, baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, as well as homemade jams, honey, flour, juices, and fine liqueurs made from its own fruit. Everything sold here comes directly from the farm or from the immediate region.

St. Laurentius Chapel (Hürbelsbach Chapel)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Laurentius Chapel in Hürbelsbach, which is over 1,100 years old.
The chapel, which is now isolated in a forest-lined meadow, was the parish church of a settlement until 1493, which around 1500 consisted only of the chapel itself and a sacristan's house and is absolutely worth seeing.
