The Hohenzollern Castle Sigmaringen was first mentioned in documents in the year 1077 and originally originated as a medieval castle on a rock above the Danube. Over the centuries, the complex was expanded several times and developed into a representative residence of the Princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. After a devastating fire in 1893, large parts of the castle were rebuilt in the historicist style. The castle was the political and cultural center of the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen for many generations. Today, it houses significant art, furniture, and weapons collections and is one of the region's most famous attractions.

The Laizer Donaubrücke connects the Sigmaringen district of Laiz with the areas on the other side of the Danube. From the bridge, there is a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding landscape of the Danube Valley. It is an important crossing for pedestrians, cyclists, and local traffic.

The hiking parking lot is located near the Laiz town hall. Several hikes can be started from here. Next to the parking lot, there is also a bakery called Mahl, where refreshments are available.

From the bike path, I cycled along the meadows a bit. It was marked as a trail on the sat nav, but it's actually a meadow. You can also see this view from the bike path.

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in 1077 in the chronicle of Petershausen Abbey. The oldest parts of the Hohenzollern castle lie hidden beneath the extensive renovations and new constructions of the 17th and 19th centuries. The castle remains that still stand today date from the Hohenstaufen era around 1200 (gatehouse, palace, and keep). Essential castle elements merged with subsequent buildings over the centuries. The origin of the castle buildings is largely identical to the outer curtain wall of the castle.
