Very nice barbecue area with a view of the castle. In summer, the view of the castle can be limited by the foliage on the trees.

Neidlingen Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The ascent to the waterfall alone is worth it: very steep over a lot of roots. The steps up were their own waterfall in late December - the bridge over …

Beautiful, exposed vantage point with a phenomenal view of the ruin Reußenstein. Very comfortable with a bench under a small oak. Unfortunately, I could not determine a name for the rock or lookout point.

September 4, 2022,Ruine Reußenstein , Pfannenberg Neidlingen mit Schwesterle
There are nice tours, and really nice tours and that was one of the tours again. On the Pfannenberg we met 3 mountain bikers at the hut without E .....🤪 who welcomed us with a smile. "Heard you groaning from up here, but it's great that you made it up here. Then we talked a bit and recommended a few …

Hey 🙋‍♂️🙋 Today we went to Neidlingen again in perfect weather ☀️ We already did this hike on April 11, 2022, with our friends Uwe & Sabine 🫶 back then with our lovely Kiwi 🐕 and since we don't mind doing the same hikes multiple times 🏃‍♀️ we went to Neidlingen 😄 past the Kugelmühle (ball mill) directly to the …

Hey there 🙋 ♂️🙋 we had already planned the tour to the Neidlinger waterfall 💦 on Saturday 😁 after seeing the tour with the waterfall by Heidi Hurtig yesterday, I was certain ☺️ we won't be disappointed 😁 it rained well too 🌧 Rusty, Sabine and Kiwi are in Reichenbach and asked during yesterday's tour 🤔 if anyone had time …

Great hike to the Reußenstein castle ruins. Over hill and dale you reach the castle ruins in a short time. A site that is absolutely worth seeing awaits you! A highlight! Then it goes on to the Neidlinger waterfall, which you absolutely must see! A really beautiful tour, with great moments and beautiful views!

What can I say: Awesome tour on an awesome day. Optimal weather (sunny with passing clouds and mostly always a breeze of wind).
We started from Neidlingen in the direction of the Neidlinger waterfalls and here we passed many fruit-bearing cherry trees - hence the cherry tour!
Unfortunately, the waterfalls don't have much water at the moment, but we still …

The Reußenstein has been on my mind for the past few days, and today I thought I'd do the "Sonne und Eis" tour by@TheChain . But I started relatively late and when I took a break at the Hindenburghütte, it was already after 3 p.m. That's why I decided to take the shorter route past the Bahnhöfle. But I'll definitely …
