From here you have the most beautiful view of Hohenzollern Castle – postcard motifs guaranteed. The Zeller Horn (913 meters high) is part of the Albtrauf, the north-west facing steep drop of the Swabian Jura.

To the Trauffelsen with a magnificent view of Burg Hohenzollern, over Hechingen, Boll and, with good visibility, even further, one reaches from the Raichbergturm. To the left one reaches the Zellerhorn, to the right one reaches the Hangenden Stein via a very varied section.

Hangender Stein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hangende Stein is located directly on the Albtrauf and offers a very beautiful view of the Schamental and towards Jungingen. The long-distance hiking trail Albsteig leads directly past this geological peculiarity. The Alb is crumbling here in slow motion and at some point the Hangende Stein will break off.

Hohenzollerngraben

Highlight • Gorge

The Hohenzollern Graben is a geological fault line that stretches from southwest Germany to Austria. It was created by tensions in the Earth's crust that led to shifts millions of years ago. The rift is particularly striking along the Swabian Alb, where it clearly shapes the landscape. Rock layers are exposed here that would otherwise remain hidden. The area is of great interest to geologists because it provides deeper insights into the development of Central Europe.

August 16, 2022,Boll (Hechingen): Zeller Horn – Hangender Stein - Nägelehaus - Kloster Mariazell
Great hike with a fantastic view of Hohenzollern Castle. Steep ascent to the Zeller Horn. Very steep and rocky descent into the valley

Showing Translation

Spontaneous lap from Boll actually wanted to continue driving but then it was so fantastic that we decided on the classic but at least the way back was new.

Showing Translation

We actually wanted to do a completely different tour today, but on the way there we just couldn't pass the freshly snow-covered Zollernburg. 🤩🤩🤩

Showing Translation

Impressive lows in the Zollernalb from the ephemeral hanging stone and the oven rock.
Hohenzollern Castle presents itself particularly magnificently from the mountain promontory of the Zeller Horn,

Showing Translation

Today we followed Heidi's winter fairy tale.
The paths were partly icy but doable.
The weather was fantastic like the whole week and we were glad to be outside.

Showing Translation

From the Hüttenwiesen car park to the Zeller Horn and the Hanging Stone. Via the Raichberg Tower and Maria Zell back to Boll.
🍁🤩🤩🤩🍂

With the weather forecast today, I wanted to go to the Alb! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera at home, so only cellphone pictures today 😳

The paths were very slippery and muddy, you had to be very careful!

What makes 2 Ibu so ... knees much better today and with the bandage in the luggage it went very well ...
