The Hohenzollern Castle Sigmaringen was first mentioned in documents in the year 1077 and originally originated as a medieval castle on a rock above the Danube. Over the centuries, the complex was expanded several times and developed into a representative residence of the Princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. After a devastating fire in 1893, large parts of the castle were rebuilt in the historicist style. The castle was the political and cultural center of the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen for many generations. Today, it houses significant art, furniture, and weapons collections and is one of the region's most famous attractions.

The Laizer Donaubrücke connects the Sigmaringen district of Laiz with the areas on the other side of the Danube. From the bridge, there is a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding landscape of the Danube Valley. It is an important crossing for pedestrians, cyclists, and local traffic.

Bittelschießer Chapel ⛪ In 1625, St. Ulrich's Chapel is relocated to the castle ruins on the road towards Sigmaringen and built on the foundations of a round tower. From 1696 to 1708 it is rebuilt and provided with a no longer existing brother house. In 1719, the chapel is consecrated to Our Lady and has been a place of pilgrimage ever since. Baroque altar of Mary and 5 saint figures.

The small chapel was built in 1696 (Baroque period) on the grounds of the former castle. Originally it was dedicated to St. Ulrich, later to Mary.

The chapel is unfortunately locked. From the top there is a great view into the valley and as far as Sigmaringen.

The hiking parking lot is located near the Laiz town hall. Several hikes can be started from here. Next to the parking lot, there is also a bakery called Mahl, where refreshments are available.
