View of Reussenstein Castle from the Bahnhöfle barbecue area

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice barbecue area with a view of the castle. In summer, the view of the castle can be limited by the foliage on the trees.

April 27, 2025,Burgruine Reußenstein – Ruine Reußenstein Runde von Neidlingen

A circular tour from Neidlingen via the Reußenstein castle ruins, where many climbers were present. One had forgotten his shoes and climbed barefoot ;-) - respect. The hike continued towards Randecker Maar, past caves and beautiful viewpoints, and back via the Zipfelbach Gorge and Hepisau through blooming landscapes to Neidlingen.

Despite Sunday, there was surprisingly little going on at Reußenstein 🏰 and on the way today. Just a little hustle and bustle around Randeck, but that was ok. Since the paths up …

🕯️Jürgen died on January 19th. We had a great time together and experienced a lot together. Spontaneously, thinking of Jürgen, I ran our first tour together again today. We had a great start back then.
