Round tour around the Hohenzollern citySigmaringen, the capital of the former Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, is located in the Upper Danube Nature Park. In the former residence city, traces of the past can be found everywhere. The castle with its spectacular location on a rock above the Danube should definitely be visited. In 1850, the princes renounced their sovereignty and the land became part of Prussia.

A bird and bathing paradiseThe river gravels accumulated during the late and post-Ice Age were intensively mined until 1973 and are still used today. This led to the creation of several excavated lakes separated from each other by dams, whose water surface and shores shaped by sediment inflow developed into an important ecosystem. People also use the excavated lakes for recreation and leisure activities. To protect animals and plants, the middle of the three large excavated lakes was declared a nature reserve in 1992. Today, the area is home to: mute swan, mallard, pochard, reed warbler, reed bunting, kingfisher, great crested grebe, coot, little grebe, common tern, lapwing, garganey, moorhen, black-headed gull, and common ringed plover.

The RW 1 is the longest circular hiking trail in the municipality and can be well planned as a day tour. It is best to walk it counterclockwise, as it is indicated on the hiking signboard. Since it leads through forested areas over long stretches, it is an ideal activity for hot summer days. There is also a swimming opportunity at Zielfingen Lake and a place to eat. The pure walking time - without a possible detour to Josefslust - is about 2.5 hours to the Zielfingen Lakes, and about 1 hour for the return journey to the village.

One popular route is the "Danube Route", which leads along the river and offers breathtaking views of the water as well as green meadows. This trail is particularly suitable for hiking with children as it is relatively flat and has many rest areas along the way.
For more challenging hikes, the "Höhenweg" is recommended. This leads through dense forests and offers spectacular panoramic views of the entire region. Here, experienced hikers can prove their skills and enjoy the beauty of nature at the same time.
Another highlight are the numerous castles around Sigmaringendorf. Wildenstein Castle, for example, sits majestically on a rock above the village and offers an impressive sight. A hike to the castle is worthwhile not only because of its historical significance, but also because of the fantastic view over the valley.
The best time of year for hiking in Sigmaringendorf is spring, when nature awakens and everything is in full bloom. But also in autumn, when the leaves change colour and create a warm atmosphere, hiking tours are particularly appealing.
All in all, Sigmaringendorf offers a wide range of hiking options for every taste. Whether you want to take a relaxing walk along the river or prefer to explore more challenging routes - every hiking enthusiast will find their personal paradise here. So grab your hiking boots and experience the beauty of this picturesque region!
