Bläsiberg viewpoint loop

We start at the castle car park and follow the signs along the path through the beech forest up to the Cross Chapel. It is lined with several Stations of the Cross. Once on the Alb plateau, we reach a viewpoint at the Cross Chapel that offers us a beautiful view over the small town and the Upper Fils valley.

Next, on the way through the Bläsihöfe, we pass the Rosenhof with its riding school. Past the Eckhöfe, the path continues near the edge of the Alb. Along the way, we reach the Wiesensteig ski area with a summer ski jump and a barbecue area. At the height of the hunting and nature school center/shooting house, we take the meadow path, which leads us once more up into the forest and halfway along the Sommerberg.

Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. A backpack with water, snacks, and a first aid kit is recommended.

When wet, some paths can be slippery and dangerous. Watch your steps and use hiking poles if necessary for stability.

Respectful coexistence in the district of Göppingen.

Code of Conduct:

Respect path closures and the quiet zones developed in the leisure paths concept. Leave no traces such as litter or animal droppings; treat your path carefully. Act foresighted and considerately. Adapt your behavior to the situation. Safety comes first. Respect other users of forests and fields. Be considerate of animals and plants. Plan ahead and use daylight. Try to avoid dusk in the morning and evening. Observe the ban on entering agriculturally used areas during the growing season. Stay on designated paths and avoid forest edges, so wild animals can better get used to humans.

At the Wiesensteig Täliesbad, idyllically located with a spacious lawn along the Fils, water lovers and swimmers can enjoy one of the finest leisure activities in summer. Wiesensteig Residential Castle: It served as the residence of the Counts of Helfenstein until their extinction in 1627. During the Fürstenberg and Bavarian periods, until Wiesensteig's transition to the Geislingen district office in 1810, the castle was used as an administrative seat. The castle, which was no longer needed, was sold and demolished except for the south wing. From 1983 to 1986, the castle was fundamentally renovated and converted into a community center. Today its rooms offer a festive setting for family and corporate celebrations, conferences, exhibitions, and cultural events.
