Heiligenberg: Höhenfreibad Heiligenberg - Aussichtspunkt auf Schloss Heiligenberg - Schlossvorhof-Gebäude
Among the places of Baden-Württemberg, Heiligenberg stands out for Schloss Heiligenberg, a Renaissance residence on the heights of the Linzgau above Lake Constance.

Its arcaded courtyard and formal rooms retain the character of a historic noble residence. The settlement around it is small and wooded, while the open farmland of the Linzgau extends towards the lake. The Höhenfreibad and Schlossvorhof buildings place local leisure facilities and everyday village life beside the castle estate. Heiligenberg is a calm base for discovering the northern Lake Constance region, with the castle as its defining landmark.
