I came here a few months ago with my friends for a short hike up the hill. It was super nice and having beer (sold there) at the top of the hill inside the castle ruin is also a good experience.

Great place to visit. Easy walk from the parking area. Beautiful views. Fall colors are amazing. Several hiking trails.

We really loved visiting this place. Perfect weather and on top perfect view. That steep trekking towards the fort ended with a pleasant view from the top of hill. Loved the place, sun soaked, relaxed with family. Even some of the friends who live nearby and never visited this place became curious. In end, a place worth visiting .......

Helfenstein Castle The ruins of the 12th century Helfenstein Castle on the 'Valley Town of the Fifth' Geislingen an der Steige. It can be reached via a footpath of moderate difficulty (sturdy shoes recommended) or by car on Weilerstraße to the nearby car park. This provides space for about 20 vehicles and is free. You really have to enjoy the valley view. The ruins are beautiful and from the tower you have a good view of Geislingen. The hiking trails are well signposted and easy to follow. Perfect for a short family trip or the curious adventurer in between. There is a convenience store and enough picnic benches for a snack. Sufficient parking spaces are also available. And a very nice hike from Geislingen train station. Park at the train station, walk across the railway tracks and the climb will start at about 900 metres. It's a bit uphill, but the view at the top makes up for everything. In Burgschänke (which is always open when the flag is raised) we ate and drank something in nice weather. The department was more relaxed. Definitely go.
