View of the Neckar from the Hessigheimer Felsengärten

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Rock Gardens Nature Reserve is home to a variety of rare plant and animal species. In good weather, you'll enjoy a wonderful view from up here and might even spot some climbers on the rock faces. The rugged shell limestone cliffs above the Neckar River are a geological feature. It's worth exploring the rock gardens more closely. But watch your step.

Hessigheim Rock Gardens

Highlight • Gorge

The Hessigheim rock gardens are an absolute highlight in this region, even though they cannot be passed through by bike. The rock gardens are only accessible on foot, you have to leave your bike at the top of the mountain rescue service. However, it is absolutely worth it both the upper hiking trail through the trees and again and again with a beautiful view over the peaks of the climbing rocks down to the Neckar and over to Besigheim as well as the path at the lower end of the climbing rocks in the approx. 10-15 meters lower to commit lying "gorge".

Well, there are stairs that lead to the rock gardens and turn into paths. They have nothing to do with the "Stäffele" ...

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hessigheim rock gardens offer not only beautiful walking paths, great views, but also the opportunity for amateur climbers to try their hand at here. At the Felsengartenkellerei you can stock up on good wine and other specialties. Numerous parties and bars take place here.

Today's destination was, as so often on October 3rd, the rock gardens of Hessigheim 🥾🍷🍇. It's nice that the event took place despite Corona 👍🏼, albeit in a slimmed-down form 😓.
