Ruins of Hertenstein Castle and Bridge

Highlight • Castle

The few remains of the former Hertenstein knight's castles lie on two rocks that are separated from the Lauchert. The two parts are connected by a bridge. The ruin, first mentioned around 1250, is freely accessible.

Lie down, swing and enjoy the landscape. This resting place is wonderful to just put your feet up and stretch your nose into the sun.

February 18, 2024,Donaufelsenläufe - Witbergrunde

We were looking for something different, something new... In the direction of sidewalk climbing and came across the 5 tours of the "Donaufelsenlaufen" which are closest to that. We start with the easiest of the tours, the “Witbergrunde”. A nice little circuit that is located along and above the Danube and gives the senses a few beautiful moments.

That was a nice after-work walk 😄
It goes either on hiking trails through the forest or on gravel paths along the edge of the forest. Easy walking. 🚶‍♂️
There was a ruin and I'm happy. I was there and there was a sign, but where the ruins were, there was only room for a small bench with a view. …

After the weather was better than predicted, I spontaneously decided to do this little afternoon round.
Very well signposted circular route on partly unpaved roads.

May 3, 2024,Sigmaringen: "Donaufelsenläufe" Witbergrunde [Premium-Wanderweg]

"The Witbergrunde leads over six kilometers from the small forest area "Sieben Kirschbäume" to the Nägelesfelsen and the Hertenstein ruins, where beautiful views over the Laucherttal await. A plaque near the ruins tells the story of the former castle. The circuit runs largely through a shady beech forest and is therefore a pleasure, especially on hot summer days, but due …

A fairly manageable tour today that I did 4 years ago. Not many highlights and a long stretch on the bike path.

OK as a Sunday stroll but otherwise you don't really need it...

Today I hiked 2 smaller tours.
First the Witbergrunde, near the Sigmaringen hospital with a great view from the Nägelesfelsen.

Then changed shirt and briefly drove the 6 km over with the car for the second hiking tour

A great hike that is not that long, but still not boring and offers a lot of variety. The hike is perfectly signposted, offers many resting places and runs a lot in the shade.
