Haigerloch, Medieval town in Zollernalbkreis, Germany
Description
Haigerloch is built on a limestone rock formation and traversed by the Eyach River, with its neighborhoods situated at varying elevations ranging from around 400 to 550 meters. This varied terrain creates several distinct areas, each shaped by its own elevation and position.
History
The town was first documented in 1095, and the castle complex as it stands today was begun in 1567 by Christoph von Hohenzollern-Haigerloch. These two moments mark when the place entered written records and when its visible form took shape.
Culture
The town carries strong Swabian character that you notice in local festivals and the way houses are built across its neighborhoods. Walking through the streets, you see how this regional identity shapes daily life here.
Practical
The town is accessible via regional roads connecting to larger centers, with lodging options spread across its neighborhoods. The varying elevations mean that visitors should expect some uphill and downhill walks when exploring.

The Atomkeller-Museum, housed in a former beer cellar beneath the castle church, displays a replica of a nuclear research reactor from World War II. This unexpected museum tells a surprising story about an unusual chapter in the town's past.
