Amerdingen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Great little castle belonging to the Counts Schenk von Staufenberg. Although it is actually in a dead end for racing bikes, it is still worth a short detour.

Charterhouse Church of Christgarten

Highlight • Religious Site

Popular destination in the lovely Kartäusertal. Only the small church remains of the former Carthusian monastery, called the Christgarten. There is also a game reserve in the immediate vicinity, which you have to cross on the Albsteig hiking trail.
