Bierhimmel Zwiefalter Klosterbräu
Highlight • Pub
In the Zwiefalter Klosterbräu BEER HEAVEN you can find all Zwiefalter beer specialties, fan articles from Engele and 1521, special items such as our beer mustard or Hop Gin, gifts with and without beer, as well as products from farms and manufacturers in the region.
In the historic walls opposite the Zwiefalter Minster and BRAUHAUS, beer lovers can expect the complete selection of Zwiefalter brewing specialties. These can be bought individually, in six-packs or boxes, but also in a decorative growler (a historical form of beer mug) or in a wooden carrier with half or a whole meter of beer. If you need more beer, you can get Engele in a 5-liter keg and 1521 in a 15-liter party keg.

Wimsener Cave
Highlight • Cave
The natural monument known as the "Wimsen Cave" or "Friedrich Cave" is the only "active" water cave in Germany that can be navigated by boat.
The Wimsen Cave is always worth a visit. Whether for big or small, the Wimsen Cave is suitable for the whole family. The beautiful and unique natural landscape invites you to go hiking and leave everyday life behind for a moment. A water playground directly opposite the Bio-Gasthof Friedrichshöhle invites the little ones to play.

Ehrenfels Castle
Highlight • Castle
Ehrenfels Castle was once the summer residence and pantry of the abbots of Zwiefalten. Elector Friedrich von Württemberg gave it to his Minister of State Philipp Christian Friedrich Normann in 1803 for the services in the negotiations with Napoleon that Württemberg was not dissolved.
A few years later he received the title of Count and was now allowed to call himself Philipp Christian Friedrich Count of Normann-Ehrenfels.
Roland Freiherr von Saint-André, as the owner of Ehrenfels Castle, Wimsen and the surrounding area, was concerned with preserving the historically important property. Died in September 2015, the daughter and heiress, Baroness Nicoletta von Saint-André, ensured, in the spirit of her father, that the “Ehrenfels Castle Saint-André Foundation” was approved and set up.

Phäno Trail Pfronstetten
Highlight • Trail
“Pheno” stands for “phenomenon”, i.e. something that surprises us and amazes us. Just something completely unexpected.
But it shouldn't just be a matter of amazement. The stations not only need spectators, but also people who are actively involved. Whether at the “Wave Tree” or at “Strong Max”, in the “Klingende Küche” or at the “Sonnenfeuer” – “participation” is the order of the day everywhere.
