Hohenzollern Castle
Hohenzollern Castle is a hilltop castle located on the Berg Hohenzollern, an isolated promontory of the Swabian Jura (NHN) above sea level, above and to the south of Hechingen, Germany approximately south of Stuttgart, capital of Baden-Württemberg. This mountain lends its name to the local geographic region, "der Zollernalbkreis", and is known among locals as "Zollerberg" (Zoller Mountain), or simply "Zoller".
Hohenheim
Hohenheim's main attractions are Schloss Hohenheim, Hohenheim Gardens, and the Lanesarboretum. The University of Hohenheim maintains and uses these attractions for its campus. The German Agricultural Museum has a branch in Hohenheim thanks to the University, and there are zoological and veterinary museums in the castle and a museum dedicated to the history of Hohenheim.
From 1888 to 1967, Hohenheim was tethered to the Möhringen-Hohenheim tracks by local railroads. Today, Hohenheim serves as the final stop of the U3 line of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn (Plieningen – Möhringen – Vaihingen). The track of rail that did connect Schloss Hohenheim is decommissioned. The town (and university) is equipped with buses and streetcars that can take one to the Schloss or Degerloch.
