Heiningen—versatile, active, and close to the county seat.
Heiningen was first mentioned in a document in 1228 as “Huningen” and is considered one of the earliest Alemannic settlements in the central Alpine foothills. Today, Heiningen is a steadily growing and thriving community with approximately 5,200 residents.
Its location in the midst of the charming landscape of the foothills of the Swabian Alb, with fresh air and good transportation links to the highway, on the southern edge of the district seat of Göppingen and directly at the foot of the “Albtrauf,” the steep escarpment rising to the heights of the Swabian Alb, surrounded by orchard meadows and fields, combined with an excellent infrastructure, is what makes Heiningen so attractive. Set against the backdrop of the Albtrauf, Heiningen offers numerous recreational and sporting opportunities, an active community life, social facilities, and cultural activities.
For guests and visitors, the RV park at the Voralbhalle—featuring a bistro, mini-golf, and a pit-pat course—serves as an ideal starting point for hikes, bike rides, or a visit to the adjacent indoor swimming pool, which has a family-friendly atmosphere and features a sauna and sunbathing area.

Roadbook
The Heubachweg trail begins at the hiking parking lot on the K 1425.
The hike begins in the village and then leads along the Katzenbach stream back into the open countryside. From there, the trail climbs gently to the Hungertobel, where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Albtrauf, including the Wasserberg, the Fuchsecks, and the Rottelstein.
The lowest point of the loop is at the Heubach. The trail continues along the Iltishofweg, past the Iltishof, to Eschenbach. Following the former railroad line, the trail—together with the Rohrweg—leads back to the starting point.
