Discover Kolbingen

Kolbingen brings together themes surrounding Kolbinger Cave, a child-friendly forest adventure trail and a touch of cultural history at St. Sixtus Burial Church. This gives you a way to match different interests to your stay: a cave, circular trails and sacred cultural heritage. The surrounding landscape is also useful for orientation: Hintelestal is a wooded, rocky side valley of the Danube between Kolbingen, Mühlheim and Fridingen.

Kolbinger Cave and Circular Trails

There is a covered barbecue area at Kolbinger Cave. If you would like to include it in your plans, check the rules for public use and local regulations on site. A guided tour of Kolbinger Cave takes about 25 minutes. This time estimate refers to the tour and can be scheduled as a separate part of your stay.

The child-friendly forest adventure trail is a circular route from the Greutlebuche playground to Kolbinger Cave and is popular with families. The playground and cave provide clear landmarks along the described route. If you are travelling with children, the trail’s explicitly child-friendly nature is a practical point to consider when choosing a route.

The Kolbinger Cave family tour is an easy circular route in the Donaubergland and is also suitable for strollers. If you are planning to use a stroller, take the conditions on the individual paths into account. This lets you assess the stroller information alongside the nature of the tour without applying it to other routes.

St. Sixtus and Hintelestal

St. Sixtus Burial Church has a cemetery wall and a war memorial. The church, cemetery wall and memorial offer a different focus from the cave and trails: here, cultural heritage and remembrance take centre stage. If you are considering sacred sites as well as nature when choosing a destination, St. Sixtus offers a focus of its own.

Hintelestal is near Kolbingen. A wooded, rocky side valley of the Danube, it stretches between Kolbingen, Mühlheim and Fridingen. These place names help situate it as a shared landscape. The valley therefore adds a landscape perspective to the specific attractions in the area, without attributing it solely to Kolbingen.

Kolbingen in Tuttlingen District

Tuttlingen District covers a total area of 734.4 square kilometres. It includes the southwestern foothills of the Swabian Jura, parts of the Baar region and the valley of the Young Danube.

Other scenic highlights of the district include the Danube gorge valley and the Höwenegg volcanic crater. White limestone cliffs rise above the Danube Valley. This information describes the wider regional context of Tuttlingen District.

The Neuhausen ob Eck Open-Air Museum is also part of this regional context. It features 25 historic buildings that were dismantled at their original locations, moved to Neuhausen ob Eck and restored to their original condition. For travellers who would like to explore cultural attractions elsewhere in the district as well as Kolbingen, the museum offers a focus of its own alongside the local history surrounding St. Sixtus.
