Trailhead parking for Helfenstein Castle

Highlight • Parking

If you drive the Geislinger Steige to Weiler, the hikers' car park comes immediately after the last sharp bend on the right-hand side. About 15 to 20 cars can be parked in this way. From here you are in 5 minutes at the Helfenstein and have a great view of Geislingen and the Filstal.

Ödenturm

Highlight • Monument

The 36 meter high tower, still a landmark of the city of Geislingen, was built around 1400 to protect the lower-lying Helfenstein Castle. After the castle was razed in 1552, the Ödenturm remained. Today it serves as a lookout tower.

Open on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The tower room, which houses a small exhibition, can be climbed from May to October.
