Hechingen

Hechingen lies at the foot of the Swabian Jura, where the escarpment rises above the rolling foothills of southwestern Germany. Above the town, Hohenzollern Castle crowns an isolated hill; the present Neo-Gothic palace was built in the mid-19th century on the historic seat of the Hohenzollern dynasty. Hechingen was the residence of the princes of Hohenzollern-Hechingen until 1850. The Roman Open-Air Museum Hechingen-Stein presents the remains and reconstruction of a Roman rural estate, adding another layer to the town’s long settlement history. Set in the Zollernalb district, it also provides access to the Alb’s wooded slopes and smaller communities.
