Surroundings & excursions
Hechingen and the Swabian Alb – culture, nature and fine food right outside the door.
The landmark
Hohenzollern Castle
The ancestral seat of the Prussian royal house towers visibly above Hechingen – in clear weather you can see the castle right from our house. By car you reach the foot of the hill in about 10 minutes. Crown jewels, guided tours, Royal Christmas markets and open-air cinema in summer.
