The ruin is the remnant of a former high medieval hilltop castle in the Kartäusertal. The system was built around 1200 AD. The castle ruin is very vulnerable to collapse, so you should take special care during the visit.

Charterhouse Church of Christgarten

Highlight • Religious Site

Popular destination in the lovely Kartäusertal. Only the small church remains of the former Carthusian monastery, called the Christgarten. There is also a game reserve in the immediate vicinity, which you have to cross on the Albsteig hiking trail.

March 8, 2025,Christgarten, Hochhaus und Niederhaus 💜🌸💜

Today was the absolutely perfect hiking day, and everything really went right 😀
At this time of year, a visit to the pasqueflower paradise💜 near Hürnheim is a must for me...
As expected, the entire slope between the WP and the fallen linden tree is covered in pasqueflowers💜 Of course, they are only just beginning to bloom, but there are …
