A very beautiful cave that can be visited without a guide. Several smaller side paths give you a sense of discovery, rather than being rushed through. Sturdy footwear is recommended …

View of Unterhausen, Honau, and Lichtenstein Castle from Breitenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewing rocks on the Albtrauf are always little highlights. The castle can be seen from here. With a good lens, you can definitely take some great photos.

Lichtenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

A castle like something out of a book. And in this case, that's actually true. The inspiration and model for rebuilding the Lichtenstein ruins in 1842 came from the castle …

Ruins of Alt-Lichtenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Although the original castle's floor plan can "only" be seen on the information board, the square with the exposed walls, the well and the former rampart is still worth seeing! …

November 19, 2025,32. 2025 »hochgehträumt« – Premiumwanderweg in Lichtenstein

A wonderful tour with Johann and Rainer, from Lichtenstein Castle to the Nebelhöhle cave and along the Albtrauf escarpment with great views back to the starting point.

September 25, 2024,⛰️ "hochgehträumt" Hochgehberge - Nebelhöhle, Gießstein, Schloss Lichtenstein ⛰️

Hochgehberge 2/22 ✔️

This hike was just the thing for today. Despite the 1.5-hour drive, it was more than worth it, even though I've been here twice before.

The advantage is that the distance isn't quite as long (officially 11km), but the Nebelhöhle (Nebel Cave) and Lichtenstein Castle (Lichtenstein Castle) are two sights worth seeing. You can also stop for …

The paths were mostly quite soft and therefore more strenuous. Otherwise a nice tour. The sun 🌞 compensated again.

Already at the beginning of the tour you will find a beautiful view at the ruins of Alt-Lichtenstein and then walk along the dreamlike backdrop of Lichtenstein Castle. The path then leads you along and to fabulous vantage points such as the Brunnenstein, the rocky …

May 18, 2022,HOCHGEHBERGE - Tour »hochgehträumt« - Premiumwanderweg in Lichtenstein

Truly a premium tour! Ideal variety of forest and meadow paths, not too steep gradients, famous vantage points, a walk-in (fog) cave, and at the start/end a fairytale castle full of stories. Full recommendation, especially because of the nature and the clever and well-maintained paths!

We start at the Kalkofenhütte, on the HW 5, past the Goldloch to the Gießstein, from which you have a wonderful view down into the Echaztal. Always along the ridge, up and down, over the Linsenbühl to the junction where the Schlösslessteig goes down. But we keep to the right, for a bit of a tarmac path back towards the …

2. Tour of the Hochgehberge "hochgehträumt". The starting point was at the Liechtenstein Castle car park. From there the tour leads to the old Liechtenstein Castle ruins.

After the castle tour, the tour goes through forest and meadows …

This premium hiking trail in the Swabian Jura definitely deserves its name »aufgehträume«. It offers beautiful views from the Albtrauf and connects two of the most popular Baden-Württemberg excursion destinations. A visit to Lichtenstein Castle not only inspires little princes and princesses. And in
