A small ZOO that has been a source of joy for the youngest for many years. Biggers feel at home too. Also suitable for birthday parties.

Geissberg Tower

Highlight • Monument

The tower is clearly visible from afar and always reminds me of the incredibly beautiful Geissberg trail. When you stand in front of it, you almost feel like you are in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower.

View from Geissberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The panorama from the Black Forest to the Alps is always impressive. In bad weather you can see the weather fronts coming from far away. Access is possible via dirt roads, hiking trails, steep slopes and beautiful single trails. It has something suitable for every taste. There are many fire pits in the area.
