Schelklingen

Schelklingen straddles the Ach River in the Swabian Alb of Baden-Württemberg, and its position in a limestone valley has tied the town to the region’s karst terrain. Above the historic centre stand the ruins of Hohenschelklingen Castle, a reminder of Schelklingen’s medieval past. Just outside town, Hohle Fels cave forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura; the Venus of Hohle Fels, an Ice Age ivory figurine, was discovered there. The Ach valley also leads towards Blaubeuren and the Blautopf spring, a major feature of the Alb’s underground water system.
