10 stations with information boards about Hohenzollern history divide the circular hiking trail. Signposts along the path lead you from one interesting station to the next. Two idyllic barbecue areas with views of the “Zollerberg” invite you to picnic in the green.
Take the climb up the Zollerberg as an occasion to make a detour to the historically significant ancestral seat of the German emperors. The castle guide team looks forward to your visit.
