A visit to the castle is a must – it majestically crowns a mountain cone and offers an incomparable backdrop.

From Hechingen, you travel along idyllic country roads to Tübingen, one of the most beautiful university towns in Germany. A walk through the old town with its half-timbered houses, small alleys, and the market square feels like a journey back in time. A canoe trip on the Neckar River is particularly appealing – a great opportunity to experience the city from a different perspective.

Continuing on one of the most beautiful convertible routes in the region, you head towards Bad Urach. The gentle hills of the Swabian Jura provide a breathtaking backdrop while the winding roads guarantee pure driving fun.

This stage of the convertible journey first leads to Blaubeuren, where the famous Blautopf awaits you. The intensely blue karst spring has fascinated visitors for centuries and is one of the region's most famous natural attractions. A walk through the small town, distinguished by its charming half-timbered houses and the historic Benedictine monastery, is particularly lovely.

Next, you continue along a scenic convertible route towards Sigmaringen. The roads wind through dense forests, past meadows and small villages – a true highlight for convertible drivers. Just before Sigmaringen, the valley opens up, and the imposing Sigmaringen Castle rises high above the Danube. The magnificent residence of the Hohenzollerns offers an exciting tour through opulent halls and an impressive collection of weapons.

Stage 3: The perfect convertible route from Sigmaringen via Albstadt and Balingen back to Hechingen

The last stage of this convertible tour leads through the spectacular Danube Valley, one of the scenic highlights of the Swabian Jura. The road snakes along the Danube, past steep limestone cliffs and dense forests. The view of the striking rock formations, such as the Knopfmacherfelsen, is particularly impressive.

A short stop in Beuron is worthwhile to visit the famous Beuron Monastery. The abbey is one of the most significant monasteries in southern Germany and is idyllically situated in a meander of the Danube.

Continuing on to Albstadt, the Swabian Jura reveals its wild romantic side. Winding high-altitude roads lead through the Zollernalb – one of the most beautiful driving routes of the entire tour! Especially the Hohenzollern Castle panoramic road is a true highlight for convertible drivers.
