Highlight • Viewpoint

With the Reussenstein ruins in the foreground, it's a very beautiful picture. And when it's quiet, you can hear the rushing of the river in the valley from above.

View of Reussenstein Castle from the Bahnhöfle barbecue area

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.

After a long time, I was back at Reußenstein. Always beautiful. Not quite as warm as I thought.

Small snow hike on the Swabian Alb.

From the large and well-visited Bahnhöfle hiking car park, follow the Löwenpfad along the eaves to the Reußenstein ruins.
After visiting them, a little further, from Hofgut Reußenstein briefly through foggy fields, to the other side of the road and again a little expansively through the forest back to the starting point.
