The 246-metre thyssenkrupp test tower with the highest viewing platform in Germany towers above the town.

 

Hohenzollern Castle

Kaiser Wilhelm II already said that the "view from Hohenzollern Castle is truly worth the trip". The castle offers a large castle museum where, among other things, the Prussian royal crown can be seen. It also hosts numerous concerts, an open-air cinema and exhibitions.

 

Open-Air Museum Neuhausen Ob Eck

In the Neuhausen Ob Eck open-air museum you can gain an insight into the rural life of earlier times. Over 20 houses from the 19th and 20th centuries have been faithfully recreated here.

 

Sport activities

If you want to experience nature after work, a canoe or kayak trip on the Danube is a good idea.
You can hire a canoe yourself and set off, or book a canoe tour lasting one or several days. In this way, you can explore the Danube mountain region and get some physical exercise at the same time.Alternatively, the Danube region is also perfect for cycling tours. As a day or weekend excursion, on the Donaueschingen to Sigmaringen stage of the Danube Cycle Path you will see how the Danube is formed in Donaueschingen and how it had to cut its way through the rock in Friedingen. You will also encounter impressive landscapes and impressive castles, palaces and monasteries, such as Beuron Monastery, Werenwag Castle and Hohenzollern Castle.

 

Hikes

From the summit of the Eichfelsen you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Danube valley and Wildenstein Castle. If you want to experience the "Swabian Grand Canyon" to the fullest, the 14km hiking route between Irndorf and Beuron is a good choice. Another recommended hike is from Sigmaringen to the Teufelsbrücke (Devil's Bridge). Here you will see a suspension bridge, rock grottos and beautiful views.
