Once you come to the Neckar-Alb region, you’ll wonder how you could have ever been happy anywhere else. The region owes its unparalleled quality of life to a varied landscape that has even been recognized by UNESCO for its natural beauty. This lovely countryside is decorated with the mighty castles and enchanted palaces of old, and even holds natural treasures hidden deep below the earth. Limestone caves like the Nebelhöhle and Bärenhöhle in Bad Urach, for example, invite visitors to immerse themselves in a subterranean world of magic and fantasy.
Bike or hike through the enchanting foothills of the Swabian Alb. Glide in a canoe or boat down the cool, shining waters of the region’s rivers. Ski down the snowy mountain slopes or go golfing or horseback riding in the magnificent countryside. No matter your preference, the Neckar-Alb region offers myriad leisure activities sure to satisfy even the most demanding action-seeker or nature lover. These outdoor adventures take place at an average of 800 meters above sea level, with altitudes ranging anywhere from 275 to 1,011 meters above sea level at the top of Oberhohenberg.
A 1,200-km-long network of cross-country ski trails and 41 ski lifts are just a few examples of the region’s vast recreational value, while an array of nationally renowned wellness spas and thermal baths provide some much-need relaxation.
