We’re so excited to welcome you to Reutlingen! Whether you're here for a few days or making a longer trip out of it, there’s plenty to see, eat, and explore in and around this charming corner of southern Germany. Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy the area—from castles to cafés, scenic hikes to sweet little towns.
Just a short train ride or drive and hike away, this beautiful waterfall trail is one of the region’s most scenic spots. The hike is lush and green, with views that make the climb worth it. Pack comfy shoes and maybe a picnic!
For a quicker hike with stunning views of Reutlingen below, Achalm is a local favorite. There’s even a restaurant up top for a reward drink (or dessert) after your walk.
A 20-minute train ride away, the old town of Tübingen is perfect for wandering cobbled streets and ducking into cozy cafés and local wine bars. Sit by the river with a glass of Württemberger wine—yes please.
For a local flavor (literally), check out the farmers’ market in Reutlingen’s city center. Held every Tuesday and Saturday, it’s the perfect place to pick up fresh pastries, regional cheeses, flowers, and maybe a pretzel or two while soaking in the lively atmosphere.
Our favorite fairytale castle! Perched dramatically on a cliff edge, this 19th-century gem offers incredible views and an even better photo op. Guided tours are available, and it's accessible by bus and a short walk.
A bit further out, but absolutely worth the trip. This mountaintop fortress looks like it’s straight out of a movie and has fascinating royal history to match. If you're keen on castles, this one’s a must.
Another majestic stop for the castle lovers! Right on the Danube River, this impressive residence blends Renaissance charm with great historical exhibits.
Whether you’re adventuring through castle courtyards or sipping wine in a hidden courtyard café, we hope you have a chance to experience a little of what makes this area so special.
