Mariengrotte For those who don't want to miss a view over Nusplingen and our immediate surroundings with rocks and dense beech forests, a walk to the Marienfelsen is recommended. Enjoy the view over our green mountains! The Marienfelsen not only stands out far and wide as a "prime example" of a Jura rock from the treetops, but also holds a geological rarity: a natural limestone tuff grotto. Since 1898, a statue of the Mother of God has been located in it. The grotto is a much-visited place of prayer, because then as now, people trust in the help of the Mother of God. The parish also celebrates its May devotions in the grotto. A Way of the Cross leads to the Mariengrotte. The grotto is accessible via the asphalted connection Hartsteige/Heidenstadt.

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Afra stands in Obernheim, a municipality in the Zollernalb district of Baden-Württemberg. The parish belongs to the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart. The building is listed as a historical monument by the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Baden-Württemberg. The hall church, originally built between 1753 and 1755 according to plans by Johann Caspar Bagnato, was incorporated into a new building in 1924 as a transept, based on a design by Wilhelm Friedrich Laur. The former nave, spanned by a barrel vault, and the chancel are decorated with frescoes by Giuseppe Appiani. The Assumption of Mary is depicted in the nave, and the Trinity in the chancel. Four Church Fathers are depicted on the pulpit parapet, and Saint Wendelin on the sounding board. The organ on the gallery was built in 1973 as Opus 149 by Stehle Orgelbau.

For me, the Danube Valley between Fridingen and Sigmaringen is the most beautiful section of the Danube Cycle Path – river, rocks, great scenery, and variety.

The detour across the bridge and back is worthwhile. Open 24 hours... for shopping
