Bad Urach Youth Hostel

The environmental youth hostel Bad Urach is located below the ruins of Hohenurach Castle, on the way to the Urach waterfall, surrounded by forest and meadows.

The Runde Berg

Highlight • Historical Site

The mountain is a cone eroded by streams of the central Swabian Alb in a western tributary of the Erms. Its plateau rises about 250m above the valley floor to an altitude of 711 m. He is thus about 50 m lower than the surrounded Alb plateau at "Rutschenhof", with which he is connected by a few meters wide ridge

Güterstein waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Güterstein Waterfall cascades into the neighboring valley just about one kilometer north of the much more famous Urach Waterfall and is considerably less visited than the latter. The waterfall cascades approximately 20 meters into a depth in two cascades, with a pool in between. Due to the high humidity, the vegetation is similarly lush to that of its larger brother. In earlier times, limestone was mined here, which the water washed out on its short journey from the Alb plateau, and which precipitates again in the cascades.
